I brewed up an imperial stout recently that I plan on adding coffee(and possibly some other flavorings) too. Took a taste of it and its not as roasty as I had hoped and the pH is a little low. So two questions:
1. Has anyone successfully added steeped roasted grains to an otherwise finished beer? I was thinking of steeping some roasted barley, boil the water, chill it and then add it to the secondary.
2. Can I add something to bring up the pH at this point? Chalk or something? How do you test dosage rates?
Thanks!
