Notes

Add cold brew coffee 24 hours before bottling/kegging for coffee variation. 3oz coarse ground beans + 3 cups water per 5 gallons (.6 oz beans + .6 cups water/gallon)

2oz vanilla extract per 5 gallons (.4 oz per gallon) for vanilla coffee version

Changes to recipe. .5lb less 2-row, .5lb less carapils due to poor efficiency last time.

8/27/2021
Scaled recipe from 10 to 5 gallons

10/3/2021
Second iteration much better. Beer is clearer, all around better taste, aroma, etc. Switched to kegging from bottle conditioning some time ago.

5/31/2022
Switched recipe back to 10gal yield. To do a 5gal batch, cut all ingredients in half
