In the past Ive added coarse ground beans to the fermenter in a mesh bag with great results. However this requires opening up the fermenter multiple times and dirtying a bag. I do pressurized fermentation in corny kegs which is one reason it's not desired.
It sounds like making a concentrated cold brew with sanitized water is a common successful method, but this requires boiling water and ever so slightly watering down the beer.
Has anyone tried using a commercial beer of similar style (or draw some beer from the fermenter) and steeping coarse ground beans in with the beer? Then add this to the fermenter after about 24 hours.
I don't see any reason this would not work, but wanted to hear if others have done this.
