The following homebrew recipes using COFFEE as a flavoring extract
were posted in Internet Homebrew Digest No. 747 by Stephen Hansen. They look
interesting! If anyone actually tries one of these recipes, please post a
forum message letting us know how they come out.

Toms Comments:
Too much coffee unless you're a real coffee fanatic. Lots of caffeine.

Black Cat Stout
6.6lb M&F Dark Syrup
1 lb M&F Dark DME
1/2lb Black Patent
3/4lb Xtal Malt
1/2lb Roasted Barley
1/2 cup Dark Molasses
3/4 oz Willamette
3/4 oz Cascades
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup French roast coffee beans
Edme Ale Yeast (yuck!)
Steep grains prior to boil. Boiled all hops for 60 min. Made a pot
of coffee out of the ground coffee and added it to the primary.
This guy also boiled the vanilla for the full time, which I think would
be a no no. I'd add the molasses and vanilla sometime during the last
5 minutes as well as some finishing hops, maybe some flavour hops
during the last 20 mins. I like the idea of making coffee and just
adding it more than either boiling beans or "dry coffeeing". I haven't
brewed this yet either, but suspect I'll try a hybrid of the two.
I really like the idea of a little vanilla.
BTW - I don't remember who sent this recipe in.
- ----------------------------------------
Here is a recipe that I have used several times now with excelent results.
It's an extract with adjuncts brew but I don't let that bother me. The
Sierra Nevada yeast culture is not terribly attenuative and the last batch
was a bit sweeter than I'd prefer. Next time I'll use Wyeast's Irish
Stout Yeast that Florian and others have recommended.
This is based fairly on and is still very close to "Baer's Stout" from
Dave Baer of Sun.COM. I call it "Speedball Stout".
4oz Flaked Barley
4oz Medium Crystal malt
6# Dark Australian malt extract
1/2# Dark Australian dry
4oz black patent malt
4oz molasses
2oz cascade (bittering) at 4.7 AAU
0.6oz northern brewers (aromatic) ? AAU
1/3lb Coffee, whole bean (I use Peet's Costa Rican, a fairly dark roast)
We've been using a Sierra Nevada yeast culture for the last few
batches and it's been a very nice brew. Prestarted Wyeast
British Ale yeast has worked well also.
OG: 49 - 51
FG: 17 - 20
Fermentation temp: 55 degF though I've done it much hotter.
Steep 50 minutes at 153 degF: flaked barley and crystal malt
Boil 90 minutes.
Add black patent and molasses at 45 min.
Bittering in thirds each 30 min.
Fill a hops bag with the coffee and aromatic hops and add to the
hot wort just before chilling. If you don't have a wort chiller
you'd better wait until pitching. Remove the bag after about
24 hours or when the fermentation is going strong, whichever is
longer. Rack to secondary once initial fermentation has died
down, about 5 to 6 days. The last couple of times I've left the
bag of coffee beans and hops until racking without over doing the
coffee flavor. This cuts down on the potential for contamination.
