    What are you drinking now?

    They look pretty similar! Just what I expected from a decent example... juicy, not too bitter, delicious!

    Hops for a Balcones Bourbon Barrel Coffee Pale

    Added the bourbon soaked oak spiral last night. I really can't wait to try this beer!

    Warm Fermented Lager Thread

    This just gets more and more interesting as the data from DNA sequencing continue to roll out! As I was reading the flavor description I was thinking "Damn, wish I had used WLP051 in my Bourbon Barrel Coffee Pale ale, the cherry, apple, and residual sugars would have been perfect!" Then I see...

    Hops for a Balcones Bourbon Barrel Coffee Pale

    Just pulled the bag. Tasted the beer last night and WOW! Can't wait to add the dry hops and bourbon soaked oak spiral!

    Hops for a Balcones Bourbon Barrel Coffee Pale

    @BrewinHooligan how long would you steep the coffee grounds in the beer? I cold crashed it, so we're right around 33°F and I added about 150g of coarse grounds to a Wilserbag last night. I want to maximize extraction of the deliciousness and avoid any harshness.

    Hops for a Balcones Bourbon Barrel Coffee Pale

    It does. I don't mind the more orange end of citrus, just want to avoid the grapefruit and lemon/lime flavors. I'm also hesitant about the more tropical flavors in this. The mint might be interesting, maybe even some Northern Brewer and US Perle? I started cold crashing last night (scored a...

    Hops for a Balcones Bourbon Barrel Coffee Pale

    Other than Amarillo (don't think I want the grapefruit flavors in this) I haven't used any if these. What flavors would I expect and how do you think they'd go with everything else? I've got the oak spiral soaking in Weller now

    Hops for a Balcones Bourbon Barrel Coffee Pale

    Nelson Sauvin is my favorite hop! I'm really leaning towards a split batch with 2 or 3 different dry hop options...

    Hops for a Balcones Bourbon Barrel Coffee Pale

    My bad, it was @BrewinHooligan right here on HBT who recommended to steep directly in the beer! My oak spiral is soaking in Weller's now

    Hops for a Balcones Bourbon Barrel Coffee Pale

    BTW, a couple of ideas were Brewer's Gold (spicy, blackcurrant, and cherry) or Pacific Gem (blackberry, floral, oak)

    Hops for a Balcones Bourbon Barrel Coffee Pale

    I went into a local coffee roaster and was immediately intrigued by the Balcones Bourbon barrel sitting on the counter. Turns out the owner puts green Sumatra beans in the barrel and ages them for 2-3 months before roasting. We started chatting, told him I was a homebrewer, and long story short...

    ☕ Coffee ☕: Ingredients, Roasting, Grinding, Brewing, and Tasting

    Interesting, so basically just cold brew it in the beer!

    ☕ Coffee ☕: Ingredients, Roasting, Grinding, Brewing, and Tasting

    This seems like a great place to post this since y'all obviously know your coffee! I wandered in to a local coffee roaster just looking for a cuppa and immediately noticed the 2 Balcones Bourbon barrels on the counter and the beans nicely packaged in whiskey bottles. I let him know I'm a...
