Tomaso, after reading all the posts that's the one option that I was thinking of...steeping with the grains before the boil. I just wanted a subtle coffee note anyway, not carbonated coffee

Thank you all for your replies.

I'm really new at this stuff. I brewed my first batch, a porter, and I am extremely happy with the results. I want to plan my next batch and had a question. I was going to purchase a chocolate stout kit and thought that adding a bit of coffee would be a nice flavor as well. Thought about...

I have them in approx. 72 degrees (up or down a degree depending on the time). I only tried one...i'll let sit for another week before I start worrying. Thanks for your fast replies!!

Hello, I'm kind of a new brewer. I brewed a few batches but a looong time ago. I wanted to get back into it and made a Brewer's Best Robust Porter. I kept it in the primary for one week. My OG was 1.054 and after a week I moved to a secondary when the SG was 1.012. After being in the...

Looks like a great product! Thanks FastRack!

Thanks Hammy, I took your advice and topped it up

I'm at a fairly consistent 72. I do plan on letting it age longer, but I wanted to get a gravity and then taste the sample.

After reading so much about this I just started a 6 gallon batch. The OG was 1.062 so it won't quite be as potent as wine but I'm excited to try it none the less.

Anyone use kmeta before bottling so that it keeps? how long will it keep without it?

Thanks jstampler! Can't wait to get this started

This probably has been answered here but i don't have a 5 gal carboy, only 6.5 gal. Do I make the recipe for a 5 gal and not worry about the extra headspace or do I have to up the ingredients for 6.5 gal?
