Embrace the metric system!!

So now, 3 weeks later I've moved to secondary dry hopped and playing the waiting game. However, the F. G. was 1.020, a bit higher than what it should be. Tasted fine when I took the gravity reading. Fermentation was slow but consistent, maybe it got a bit cold, at the bottom of the...

Yes it's fine, the Chocolate malt and the coffee and chocolate will give it colour

Noooooo, don't let that put you off!! ;)

So here it is 2 months later. I like it a lot, still very strong coffee flavour, I suppose it will mellow with time. Ended up at about 6.5 %ABV, nice beer to sit over at the end of the day.

Brewed this morning, used Safale US-05 in the end. Had O.G. 1060, a bit below but I'm sure it'll be fine.

Well,we always miss hittng some numbers, but a nice hoppy IPA will be a nice Xmas present!!

No worries, just tidied it up a bit there. Have I got enough Magnum for bittering

Cheers, interesting thoughts. So given the consensus here,I'll ditch the 30 minute additions and move them to 5 and flameout. Much appreciated.😊

Cheers man. Is that enough Magnum fir bittering? I'll take that on board. Still learning and experimenting here.

Decided to buy some fresh coffee and cold brew. Got 250grams of Colombian, steeped it in a litre of water, 1 : 4 ratio, plan to transfer tomorrow to secondary. Had another taste today after taking the density reading, very nice, down to 1016 now, 5.78ABV. Really looking forward to this one now!!

I'm a coffee beer brewing virgin too, still got a day or two to read up and decide what way to go. Beer has been in primary for a week now and has fermented quite well. Appreciate the feedback , cheers man! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Haven't really thought about the price, have a load of capsules in the cupboard. I was more thinking as I already have them, why spend more buying ground coffee? And I know it's decent quality. You say take the coffee out of the capsules,why not just make them in the normal way?? Is that too...

I have a stout in the primary and will be adding coffee to the secondary. My question is, has anyone ever used Nespresso capsules and if so how many and how did your beer turn out?

We are gonna buy another fermenter and get another brew on,a nice IPA or pale ale Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

And this time more as we plan to let it age till Xmas at least before drinking it.

Great stuff!! Glad we didn't totally screw up this batch. From what people are saying it should be fine. Just have to pay the waiting game now.
