Scum
I am a barista and a coffee lover. So is swmbo as well as many of my friends. I really love a good stout and there is a brewery here in Milwaukee that makes a pretty good coffee stout that has inspired me. I would like to try making an espresso stout. I am wondering if anyone has any recipies, ideas, tips, etc on the matter. I want to be sure that the recipe isn't terribly bitter because the coffee will add a substantial amount of bitterness and the end product needs to be palatable.
I found several different stout recipies on NorthernBrewer and was wondering if any of them would be suitable for what I am doing, or if someone has another recipe to try...
Stout #1
1 lbs simpsons roasted barley
6 lbs golden malt syrup
1 oz nugget hops
Wyeast 1084 Irish Ales yeast
Stout #2
0.5 lbs dingemans debitter black
0.5 lbs simpsons chocolate
6 lbs amber malt syrup
1 oz target hops
Wyeast 1028 London Ale yeast
Stout #3
0.5 lbs simpsons dark crystal
0.5 lbs simpsons roasted barley
0.5 lbs simpsons black malt
3.15 lbs gold malt syrup
3 lbs dark DME
1 oz target hops
Wyeast 1028 London Ale yeast
The book I am reading says something about using 1/2 pound freshly ground coffee per 5 gallon batch. If anyone has any helpful info I'd really appreciate it
