Well me and my buddy are on our 4th batch and we decided to go with a stout. The recipe we bought from our LHBS is called west coast stout and this is what's involved:
1lb flaked barley
1/2lb chocolate
1/2lb roasted barley
1/4lb black malt
1 oz amarillo (bittering)
1 oz cascade (bittering)
What we want to do is add coffee in the secondary so we are seeing what the best way to do it is. We plan on racking to secondary after 7 days, which will be this sunday, so we would like to have an idea before then. I've read many different ideas from adding it during the boil, adding coarse ground coffee during secondary, and adding cold filtered during secondary. What are you thoughts on how to do it and when to add it to secondary to get a nice coffee flavor out of it without being too over powering? Thanks for the help!
