Coffee Porter Recipe for 5 gallons
½ lb dark crystal malt
¼ lb chocolate malt
½ lb black malt
¼ lb brown malt
6 lb light malt extract syrup
1 oz Mt. Hood hops, 60 minutes before end of boil
½ oz Willamette hops, 30 minutes before end of boil
American ale yeast
¼ lb French roast ground coffee
¾ cup corn sugar
Steep crushed grains in three gallons of 160°F water. Remove, add malt extract, and boil 60 minutes, adding hops at specified intervals. Transfer to fermenter with enough cold water to make five gallons. Cool to 70°F, aerate, and add yeast. Ferment at 65-70°F for one to two weeks or until finished. Cold-steep coffee for 24 hours in one quart of boiled, cooled water. Filter coffee extract from grounds. Rinse and discard grounds. Add all coffee extract to a five gallon container, and siphon beer onto extract. Dissolve corn sugar into finished beer, bottle, and store at room temperature for two or three weeks, then chill and enjoy.
