      Mark Here is what was said, "I've had the best luck adding coarse cracked beans to the secondary for 12-24 hours right before bottling. Cold extract works, but you'd need more than 30 minutes in my experience. Adding coffee on the cold side gives you great aro...  more

      HEISCHMAN I am just worried about the oils as these beans are flavored with extracts they are very oily

    • HEISCHMAN
      Mark That is why they say to cold brew it if you want to actually brew the coffee. Steep the beans in tap water for a day or two in the fridge, stirring them occasionally.

    Brown Porter Recipe
    A brown porter is a style of beer that I have really enjoyed for a long period of time. I really enjoy fully flavored beers that provide a bit of roast, but also don’t kill you with alcohol. I also find porters to be more sipping beers, despite their low ...  more

    Do-it-yourself suds
    Home-brewer Erich Hennig was new to the hobby about 10 years ago when he set about trying to create a light, easy-drinking beer. But when he and a friend tasted the concoction, they winced and said, “Dude.” The failed attempt became known as “Dudeweiser.”

    Bourbon Barrel Sour Cherry Porter Tasting
    A strong dark beer isn't most people's ideal summer beverage, but tasting a dark sour seemed like a good excuse to drink down in my (now temperature controlled) barrel/bottle/fermentation room.
