Newbie question: when to add coffee

[abc08234]

I'm currently brewing an Outmeal Stout using HME. It is bubbling happily in the primary. I plan to rack to a Mr Beer keg and bottle from there. I would like to add a kick of coffee as an experiment.

I plan to make a strong brew, cool it off and add it to the Mr Beer keg along with my corn sugar solution. Is there any drawback by doing that? Should I add the coffee a week earlier, and why?

Thanks in advance.

1. Throw away Mr. Brew kit.

2. What are you making?

3. Why?

I'm doing a HME as I'm just a newbie. I'm not using the Mr beer equipment to brew, only using the keg to rack and bottle because I find the spigot very useful when bottling and mixing priming solution.

I'm making Oatmeal stout. Want to experiment by adding coffee flavor.

Because I like beer and I like coffee.

hopefully someone will answer how much you should add it... if im right about the roasted barley.
