Hey everyone,
Getting ready to bottle this stout I made and 2.5 gallons of it are getting coffee added. I cold steeped a bunch of coffee grounds of a couple different coffees and it only yielded 1 fluid ounce of extract.
I know this won't be enough since I did some taste-testing with my gravity sample. To make up for it I just added about 8 spoonfuls of coffee grounds to a sanitized tupperware container with lots of cold water and put it in the fridge. I am planning on letting it sit for a few hours and will then see how many fluid ounces of extract I get once I filter it through a strainer or coffee filter.
For those who have done cold brewed coffee additions to kegs or at bottling, how many fluid ounces per gallon do you recommend? I know it varies, but any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
