I just recently started this fantastic hobby. I tried to make a coffee stout but i'm worried it's ruined..... I let my girlfriend help with the brewing process and she dumped all off the spent grains, hops, and coffee grinds into the fermenter. The fermentation was very aggressive and shot the grains up into the blow off tube which clogged the tube up. The stopper and tube was blown off of the fermenter for either 3 to 6 hours. I let the beer sit in the primary for three weeks to ferment. During bottling I had a hard time siphoning the beer into pint bottles which took a long period of time. Then last Friday I decided to try one of the bottles and it tasted pretty stale. I was wondering if the crap that didn't get filtered out caused the staleness or if it was just the oxygen that got to it. I plan on getting a secondary/ bottling bucket and filter the next batch. Any suggestions are welcomed. I can include the recipe if that would help.
Thanks for the help in advance and cheers!
