Coffee Porter

[Kblandfo]

good question -
the amount was the same, but the cold press (brother) was Seattle's Best something or another... and the hot steep was Starbucks French Roast.

That said, however, he was making what he liked, and I was making what I liked. Side by side wouldn't be fair on that - but essentially, on mine (hot steep) the flavor was still there. His was more mild when he made it, but even milder a year later. (we were together for this taste-rememberance -and he was not happy with his.)

Just when I had pretty much settled on cold brewing. The part that is swaying me is hat he was not happy with his.

I guess I have at least these two methods to try.

Cold steeping coffee is less aggressive at extraction than hot. The benefit you get is fewer bitter compounds are extracted, which allows the more subtle and complex flavour tones of the coffee to be tasted. However you will obviously require more coffee to get the same flavour intensity as a hot steep. Its simply unfair to compare the same volume of hot to cold.

Thinking of brewing this for the holidays. What do you think?

12LB 2 ROW
1LB MARIS OTTER
1LB CARAMEL/CRYSTAL 40L
12OZ CHOCOLATE WHEAT MALT

2OZ GLACIER (60) MIN BOIL
2 VANILLA BEANS IN SECONDARY FOR 5 DAYS

EST ABV: 7.9%
LOOKS TO BE IN THE GREEN ON BEERSMITH FOR A BALTIC PORTER STYLE. Thoughts????

Yep, no rushing an 8% beer. Should have brewed 2 weeks ago.
