7.5 gallon turkey fryer is all i've used. No issues yet but I'm awfully new to the hobby

Thanks for the help fellas. Still haven't had a chance to brew just yet but when I do I'm going to push forward and add the extra coffee beans. I'll let you all know how things go Sláinte!

No instructions with my power pack porter kit. Im choosing the add a little more coffee flavor and aroma to the the recipe is all. And yeah I've thought about brewing the coffee normally for sterility purposes but from what I've read cold steeping for 12-24 hours is the way to go. I think I...

How's it going fellas, my first time posting here. I've only brewed 2 extract kits and I'm now preparing to brew the Power Pack Porter from Midwest Supplies this week. I bought some organic fair trade Peruvian coffee beans to add to the secondary, problem is these beans are green and...
