Hi all,
I was in a pub last night and they had a coffee stout. It was absolutely delicious. I read the back of the bottle and it stated that the espresso beans were added at the end of the boil.
Here is my problem: I brewed my stout the night before so the boiling is out of the question. Here's what I'm thinking about doing:
Before I rack into secondary next week, I could take around 1L of the fermented wort, heat it in a saucepan, add the espresso beans, cool and add to secondary with the rest of the beer.
Don't see why this would be a problem. My only issue is I don't know how much espresso to put in! I'm brewing 25L. Any ideas?
Cheers all!
