I'm going to attempt my first coffee stout this weekend. However, I'm concerned I may be planning on too much coffee. I'll be brewing my oatmeal stout recipe with an addition of cold brewed coffee at flame out.
In order to hit my target gravity (1.053), I plan to change my 60 minute boil to a 90 minute boil, then add a half gallon of cold brewed coffee at flame out to account for the additional evaporation. This should hit my gravity target, but is it too much coffee?
I'm fairly determined to add coffee at flame out, not secondary or kegging. My cold brew recipe is 264g of course ground coffee in a half gallon of water, cold steeped for 24 hours.
Your thoughts?
