I looked through a few old forum posts, but there wasn't much info on this, so I thought I'd ask again:
I want to bourbon barrel age a stout, but they're a bit expensive and impractical for me to try right now. I've also wanted to add coffee beans to a stout. Thought I'd kill two birds. I have some coffee beans that have been aged in a bourbon barrel and was gonna use that. Thoughts on when to add coffee? How much? Ground or whole bean? Would a bourbon barrel aged coffee add much bourbon flavor or not?
