5 Gal Recipe:
12lbs belgian pils
1/2lb chocolate malt
1/2lb roasted barley
1/2lb flaked barley
1/2lb crystal 120
1/2lb lactose
22oz bottle of hersheys chocolate syrup
1/2lb of coffee brewed to 1 gal (added to the secondary)
My question is; can I age this beer for 10 months as my winter brew? My concern is the coffee do I add it now and let it age with the beer, or should I add it later? I know I don't like coffee that sits out after couple of day, but it will be mixed in with some nice stout. I'm just looking for a few opinions on this, even the recipe if you like. This will be my first Chocolate or Coffee stout.
