Second brew today. Thought I’d add my two favorite things to diy together, coffee and beer. I roasted some fresh coffee and added it to my Red Ale that was brewed today.
Ingredients:
3.3 lbs Plain light malt extract
2 lbs Plain light dry malt extract
12 oz. Crushed crystal malt
1 oz. Crushed black patent
1 oz Willamette Hops (Bittering)
1 oz Willamette Hops (Finishing)
4 shots espresso
Theoretical Starting Gravity — 1.042
Actual Starting Gravity — 1.036
So this time I got a lower gravity than was expecting… Should turn out alright though. Hopefully the coffee flavor blends well. I guess its all about trying new things.
