Adding coffee beans to mash

[cetlin]

I want to brew a coffee porter. I'm thinking about grinding the beans as coarse as possible and then adding them to the mash.

Did anyone try it?

If it were me, I would be adding coffee post boil, or even at packaging time. The boil will most likely drive off some of the aromatics from the coffee.

I add the coffee about a week after fermentation or when I keg it.

I make cold brewed coffee about a half a pound for 5 gallons. A darker roast coffee comes through better than a lighter roast.

coffee is cheap is far as adjuncts go add it when ever you want.Mash work fine, I would personally avoid boiling it for any amount if time.But its not the wrong thing to do either.
cafe patron is amazing in porters too

Try some coffee Malt. I have had good success with it.
