Brewing Notes

Originally I used Starbuck's Sumatra Reserve (1 lbs ground) When I brewed the beer I added it dry to the secondary and racked on top of it. Suppose you could do a quick soak in boiling water if you're worried about infection but going from roaster to vacuum sealed bag to secondary and racking an 11% beer on it...well I just did it...you know RDWHAHB! Anyway I thought the coffee was a bit up front so I thought I'd try whole bean the next go around. It did mellow a lot and by the time I got it to our local brewfest in Shreveport it was a hit.
