Coffee

I have a recipe very similar to yours that is made with coffee. I did a ton of research on ways to add coffee and there are tons. The thing that seemed to be uniform between everybodys different trials was that if the coffee is brewed, boiled or heated it imparts a ton of bitterness in the beer. The solution I found is dry beaning. You take a desired amount of whole coffee beans, soak them in vodka for 30 minutes to an hour, drain the remaining vodka and add the beans to secondary. The reason for the vodka is to sanitize the beans without heating them and cooking out the flavor and also the vodka has no effect on the beer itself. The amount is something you will have to play with depending on how much coffee flavor you want. Coffee hold the bitterness. Cheers!
