Notes

This is a test to see what the efficacy of coffee is as am acidulating agent. Also to see what kind of character said beer might have. French roast was selected and coarsely ground.

Mash ph was 5.67, was predicted by BF as 5.66. Added 7 drops lactic acid which brought ph to 5.43. Sparged with 2.5gal.

Interesting roast flavor, but ultimately too astringent even to drink one beer and it did not affect the mash ph as desired. Hardly at all.
