“Pout's Revenge" Dry Irish Stout [secondary]

Feb. 10, 2013

Racked my stout to secondary in my 3 gallon carboy. Roughly half a gallon left over. Will experiment with coffee on this remainder.

Surprised by the dry flavor from the flaked barley. Wishing I could put this beer on tap. Will probably give it two or three weeks to condition before bottling.

Observations:

Gravity: 1.019
Color: Deep brown red, like sherry
Smell: Flaked barley, rye, alcohol, red wine, toastiness
Taste: Dry barley, roasty, medium bodied, medium bitterness, bitter coffee, sour or tartness

Steep coffee overnight and refrigerate. Strain using coffee filter and add to half gallon of beer.

Ingredients:
  • 1 oz Caribou ground coffee
  • 1.5 c water
