Cold Brewed Coffee
I am making a coffee stout and read somewhere that cold brewed is the way to go with the coffee. Do I have to sanitize the coffee? Should I bring it up to 180F for 5-10 minutes to kill any critters? Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of cold brewing? Am I missing something?

I've never used actual coffee in a beer. If I was going to do this though, I would probably pour it in at the same temp as my beer. I assume you're using this in the fermenter?
I've always used fresh coffee beans and it's done the trick quite nicely.
