Hi mate

Did you crack the coffee beans and when did you add them? mash or boil?

Ive been thinking of running some through the mill with the grain and mashing it.

cheers

Tony I reckon you'd be better off putting a few shots through your Espresso machine (if you have one). You could add it anywhere during the fermentation process then because the 90 degree water should sanitize the coffee to some degree.

One of those "to do" projects I've been wanting to add to a stout for some time. :icon_drool2:

Hi mate

Did you crack the coffee beans and when did you add them? mash or boil?

Ive been thinking of running some through the mill with the grain and mashing it.

cheers

Didn't crack them, just chucked them in whole in the mash.
By the time i'd finished the sparge the beans had practically no flavour at all.

 

[reviled]

Did a double brew weekend, wasnt supposed to, but when I pitched yeast on sunday I thought "stuff it, im doing another one" :lol:

The first was a Pilsner

5kg Pilsner
210g Cara-Pils
60 : 50g Riwaka
15 : 25g Riwaka
FO : 25g Riwaka
Fermenting with Wyeast 2000 (hopefully)

The second was a case of, "What can I make with what I have?" So after looking at what was available, I thought a type of Altbier would be cool, allthough im fermenting with an english yeast but who cares

2.5kg Munich
1kg Vienna
200g Wheat

[randyrob]

Hey Kong,

i know nothing about water chemistry tho a few of the perth guys around here know their stuff.

u should cruise up to a wcb meeting if your free sometime!

Rob.

 

[KoNG]

Hey Rob,
i'm sure someone will have some local knowledge for me.
yesterdays brew just went straight tap H2o..

Cheers
KoNG

ps funnily enough i' just moved to EVP...!

 

[Stuster]

Welcome back, kONg. Nice mix with the C hops, that Pac Hal. I'm sure you'll have something better than those LC beers on your hands.

 

[KoNG]

It has been a while Stu.
agreed the Pac Hal finishes most beers off well.. i love letting some float in the keg for a day or 3.
time to head home and feed my wort some dried stuff

 

[Kleiny]

4.5kg Ale

Just put my partial mash for a coffee stout. The smell of it! WOAH....my house smells like a coffee shop!

Double Shot Coffee Stout

2.0kg Joe White Ale malt
0.25kg Medium Crystal malt
0.25kg Chocolate malt
0.15kg Roasted Barley(1500ebc)
0.1kg Rolled oats
0.1kg Vitoria Espresso Coffee bean
Mashed at 67 degrees

1.5kg Coopers Light Malt extract
1.5kg Coopers Amber Malt extract

Hops
60min: 15g Super Pride (15.1%AA)

Gonna pitch a 1L starter of S-04 once its all said and done.

Also plan to chuck another 100g of coffee bean in the 2ndary for a week.

My advice is to make the coffee and add the coffee to secondary. Adding beans can give a vegetabley smell.

Randy mosher recommends cold extraction of the coffee to avoid the bitterness hot extraction can give, but I just made up espresso shots and added them.

Cheers

Hey Kong

As you have noticed there is plenty of chlorine in the water. I found in the past this can lead to chlorophenols in the beer, and that the problem was most evident in beers using cascade. The water varies from suburb to suburb and you may find the beer is fine. But as a rule:
Perth water has a fair amount of salts in it and you generally dont need to be adding them.
Perth water has alkalinity, if doing a lighter beer its a good idea to drop the pH of the tap water with some acid.
Perth water has a lot of chlorine and maybe some chloramines in it, adding campden tablets is the simplest way to be sure of fixing it.

 

[Tony]

sounds like a good reason to NOT live in perth!
