I finished up and it turned out awesome. I used cheesecloth to filter which made it go pretty fast. It is kegged and pouring fine. Loving a mixture of eggnog and coffee in the morning. Only thing I may change in the future is utilizing a 6 gallon bucket vice a carboy as suggested due to the...

I will report how it goes. Based on everyone's input, in a coupe of days I think I will try the carboy approach for 5 1/2 ~ 6 gallons. If I let the grounds settle (cold Crash) I should be able to siphon off 5 gallons with little grounds. The Siphon will be directed to a filter to catch...
