SWMBO's choice. I could only talk her down to one shot less than the espresso in Redhook Double Black Stout.

Wow, that looks really interesting. 9 shots of coffee (or is it espresso?) in 5 gallons - wow! Let us know how it turns out, please.

18 ounces? 2 row?

18 ounces? 2 row?

Its a partial mash recipe, so that is just for the steeping grains.

I had this a week ago and it was really well balanced. I may try the AG recipe one day.

Sumatra to secondary today. I further talked SWMBO down to 13.5 oz strong French press instead of espresso shots (helped by the coffee maker going through a vinegar cleaning). 10 shots espresso roast is fabulous in Redhook Double Black Stout, but that's a bigger beer.

Let us know how this turns out!

Side by side shocker: NOT ENOUGH COFFEE! SWMBO suggests doubling. I'd at least would add 3 oz.

OTOH, the base may be a true clone.
