WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

The coffee beans should be split in half, not added whole. I only did 0.5 ounces because they were dark Sumatra beans and already STRONG. Amount may vary depending on what type of beans.

Also, the amount of whiskey is probably off. I used just enough for the beans to soak in it. I did not want a lot of whiskey added to the fermenter. The whiskey was only to sanitize the coffee and pull out some flavor.

This recipe turned out pretty awesome FYI. If you do NOT like a bit of a spicy flavor and aroma then don’t use Sumatra dark roast. I bet a light “unbold” roast would be good as well. And more cocoa come through.
