The coffee certainly added 1-2 SRM, but I should have aimed for a paler beer to compensate (as mentioned).The Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-55482414447564759542014-10-30T13:33:01.641-04:002014-10-30T13:33:01.641-04:00I was curious on the colour of the beer.

Is that purely from the coffee additions?hansninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105432609679885834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-11267290080497051872014-10-20T09:48:40.967-04:002014-10-20T09:48:40.967-04:00I've been experimenting with adding whole bean...I've been experimenting with adding whole beans to growlers of commercial beer. So far, I've tried a more traditional American Wheat (No Shame Wheat from "The Unknown" in Charlotte, NC) and a hoppier American Wheat (Wet Hot American Wheat from Finch's in Chicago). The coffee was much better in the hoppier beer, but I think I 'over-beaned' it with 2.8g in a 750ml growler. Yesterday, I added the same amount of beans to a 32oz growler of Wicked Weed Freak of Nature, which should be closer to the amount added to the recipe here. Might have to get a second growler of that so I can try it myself as this one was a gift for the guy that donated the beans for my experiments.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413910644293216349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-22553574558763111572014-10-07T21:58:05.903-04:002014-10-07T21:58:05.903-04:00I'd adjust the 20 minute addition to compensat...I'd adjust the 20 minute addition to compensate for the differences in hop processing and alpha acid content to maintain the 28 IBU target.The Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-68331075749423206212014-10-07T14:29:03.997-04:002014-10-07T14:29:03.997-04:00If I were to use pellet hops rather than whole, wo...If I were to use pellet hops rather than whole, would I need to adjust the hop schedule?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08330130104502580769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-46856505056087507772014-10-07T11:22:45.799-04:002014-10-07T11:22:45.799-04:00I recently tried a coffee blond recipe, but I thin...I recently tried a coffee blond recipe, but I think I chose a coffee that was a touch too bitter.

They've also done a kick ass breakfast stout, being in the same building as a coffee roster helps when brewing with coffee.
