The Light and The Dark

(Editor's note: This post originally appeared on http://sites.google.com/site/billsbrewing/ on June 17, 2010)

The move to LA is coming up soon, and so the number of available brewing days is few. So few, in fact, that today I brewed for the last time ever...

Coffee Stout II

Description
This is the second effort at a coffee stout. The stout portion of this recipe follows the Dry Stout recipe in Charlie Papazian's The Complete Joy of Home Brewing. As with the Coffee Stout, a batch of cold brewed coffee is brewed and sterilized and added before bottling. I ordered my beer ingredients from Northern Brewer and got the coffee from The Head Nut in Swarthmore, PA.

Cold brew the coffee, sterilize, and add to beer before bottling. Original brew date 5/28/2010.
