Winter Blues Coffee Porter
Baltic Porter • Extract • 6 gal
I used 2oz of whole espresso beans, which I steeped for 30 minutes with the grains, and another 2oz of the same added to primary with the dry hops. Yielded a fairly strong coffee flavor. Coffee lovers will enjoy it thoroughly, all the coffee and beer lovers alike who've had it have complimented it.
