Fantastically easy to drink Coffee Stout! Balanced flavours with a slightly sweet edge. Brewing another batch very soon and cant wait to enjoy it again!

My friend joined the community of brewers about a year ago. At first, I was too skeptical and didn't support his hobby, as I used to order drinks from these delivery liquor stores and considered them fine. But since I had tasted his coffee stout, I have changed my mind. Now I even try to participate in brewing process and I like it.

I'd like to be able to look at this recipe but I can't open it in Beer Smith 2...

Can you clarify how you are adding the coffee? Is it grounds? A brewed batch of coffee? Or both?
Sometimes I cant see the things right in front of me.
Thank you

Trying to access this recipe. I'm assuming that it is a beersmith format but I can't open it. Any thoughts? I'm very interested in this...

It's in the format for BeerSmith 1.x. Try right clicking it and use "Open With" by pointing it to BeerSmith.

The recipe calls for grounds added right to the primary.
My preference for coffee additions is to do a cold steep and add the coffee directly to the beer as part of the water volume. Seems to be richer and smoother that way.

Sounds obvious but by cold steep you mean just grounds in cold water and let steep for a while? Thanks

Do you live in Ketchikan? It's the home of Raven's Brew and the artist for all of their roasts is Ray Troll. Another local Ketchikan celebrity.

Grind the coffee small. Add the grounds after the boil when the temperature has dropped to 70C, (158F). Let them steep for 10 minutes. That will given you a great coffee flavour. If you add them to the boil the taste will be harsh and bitter.
Adding the cocao nibs into the secondary will give you the best chocolate flavour. I add some lactose for mouthfeel and a touch of sweetness. Adding oats into the mash will add smoothness.

I add my coffee by making espresso with my espresso machine and then adding it to the secondary. It's hot enough that it is sterilized and I can add the amount I want based on the taste, so that I get the perfect coffee balance each and every time.

I tried pointing it to BeerSmith2 and I get an import error.
