    Pilsner Brew Day
    I brewed my Pilsner last Saturday, just as the snow ended. The snow setting made brewing a real treat compared to the normal blustery winter brew day. The recipe for this beer was pretty simple and the grain crush went quickly. Even though it was cold out...  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.

      BrewWitch A little late to the party, but I and other friends use the cold brew method for getting coffee into beer. My latest was a coffee infused red ale... The Red Express. Not sure how a 'flavored' coffee would work (as you mentioned, the oils) but you could ...  more

      HEISCHMAN I added some of the beans crushed to the end of the boil, then fermented 2 weeks. I also cold brewed the coffee over night, then let the coffee sit in a gravy separator for a few hours to remove the oils. I then racked the beer in to fermentor #2 on top o...  more

      HEISCHMAN I am thinking of letting this one sit for another week in the secondary. 3 weeks total. OH and an update on this brew, I went with a brown ale instead of the stout. Wanted the coffee to really stand out.

    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.”
