Recipe ideas for a coffee porter

[pineknot]

Hello everyone,

I was just curious to see if any one had any extract recipe suggestions for a coffee porter. Winter means dark beer and I'm itchin to make one! Thanks in advance!

Make Jamil's Robust Porter (see link below). Cold steep 1/4 cup of your favorite ground coffee in 4 cups of your favorite bottled water over night. You can do this in a french press or with a muslin bag. Add just the coffee liquid to your porter at flame out. Let stand 15 minutes before you begin to cool.

Thanks for the info.! It looks and sounds great! I'll give it a shot.

Similar, but different, I make my favorite Porter recipe, and then after fermentation I rack to a secondary and add in 5 cups of brewed coffee (cooled). I imagine the end results are pretty much the same as LuthersLagers' method.

Cheers.

I believe that cold brewed coffee is a bit less acidic and may be perceived as smoother. So I think there may be a noticeable difference. I have not done either method myself, but my friend cold-brewed coffee for a stout, and it was delicious and not too difficult.
