Sunday Funday Brunch Stout

[Ozzy2001]

Also a different coffee this time around. Same brand just the Sumatra.

Good choice. Sumatra and Kona are probably the best choices for beer, if you are going by region/style ...

I'm pretty sure that's what is in Breakfast Stout.

I may cold press some Kona to add to the secondary.

They are low-astringency ...

There are other isolated plots that are too, but those two are inherently by style ...

The coffee I used last time was one used in a local coffee imp stout tht I really like. It turned out great, but I figured I'd get as close to Founders and see how it holds up.

 

[Ozzy2001]

It has begun...

Sumatra was always my choice back when Starbucks was cool and I was getting into good coffee. Excellent flavor.

we use peruvian organic in our cappuccino beer here, but I did just use some weird blend from a local coffee shop today in our imperial coffee cream ale

 

[Ozzy2001]

The stuff I used is pretty good stuff. Locally, 4 Hands uses their coffee in their beers too.

Coffee Cream ale sounds good.

 

[grantmichaels]

Sixpoints CREAM is great ...

Hint of coffee.

Racked over to the secondary with 2ozs of cold pressed coffee.

My being lazy and wanting to be done screwed me on the final numbers. FG is 1.034. Hopefully whatever yeast is left will do a little more work. It still taste good, but should have been around 1.026 or so. I didn't rehydrate the yeast when I pitched it. Just used the 2 packets dry. Oh well. It's getting kegged Saturday regardless.

That sounds like a nice FG for me (and D3, LOL) ...

Experiment tonight. Compared my stout to Breakfast Stout. I'll be damned if this isn't almost an exact clone. My wife and I compared them and if you switched one with the other when I went to the bathroom or something I don't think I would notice.
