    Oak + Coffee in an IPA?

    Basically I just ground the beans up, threw em in a hop bag, and dropped them into secondary. Adding cold coffee would give you the flavor profile for sure, but I think it would substantially change the color of the beer, which is something I didn't wanna do. But if black IPA is what you're...

    Oaked/Coffee IPA question

    Okay guys, Two weeks ago I brewed up basically a Two Hearted Clone (attached if you want to check it out), but I want to put some expresso beans/hungarian oak shavings into the secondary fermenters.
