How do I sterilize Espresso?

[Craigerrr]

Hey guys, I brewed a coffee stout/porter on the weekend, will be adding espresso when fermentation settles down. Here is the question, I have an espresso machine, and will sanitize the cups and such. Do I need to preboil the water that I use, do I need to sanitize the reservoir on the machine? After all of the care I take to clean and sanitize everything, just making a bunch of espresso and dumping it into the fermenter scares me.

Espresso is brewed very hot with steam- it would be fine to use once it cools.

Just make coffee and let it cool.

Stout and coffee a great combination!

Thanks for the replies, I will just sanitize what will come in contact with it, then pitch it in after 7 days, then let it sit for another 7 days, I think I will take a gravity sample before adding it, save it, and sample them both when bottling

Mmmmm breakfast stout !
Not sure how many here have ever heard of a " golden gaytime" but its an ice cream and theres a local brewer making a golden stout time dessert stout for last few years and I'm thinking of cloning it just for a challenge and annoying the brewery as a bonus

Lactose sugar? When i think of golden gaytime i think of nutty- chocolate sweet and-creamy in order. Good luck with cloaning it. Sounds too good to be true people would be lining up in droves to get a cup full!

So I added the espresso after about 10 days. I took a pre espresso gravity reading, fermentation was as good as done. I then left it for 5 days, the last two days on the fridge at 38F. Took the FG before bottling, it was bang on the money, sample tasted PDG! Have to wait another 10 days for it to condition.
