Coffee Porter Progress
April 24th, 2009 by Ray in Brewing | Tags: beer, Brewing, homebrew | 1 CommentTonight I decided to take a gravity reading of the Coffee Porter. It has been fermenting since Monday (~5 days) and appears to be doing well. My initial gravity reading was 1.043, perfect! Tonight’s reading was at 1.020, not quiet where I want it since I’m looking for 1.012 – 1.014 for a FG. I’m hoping by Sunday I will reach that level and then I can finally move the brew from the primary to the secondary fermenter where I will add the coffee (still not sure what coffee to use).
The pictures below show what the beer currently looks like…sorry for the blurry image…meh.
I say espresso. Maybe even just pick up a small cup from Starbucks. Shouldn’t need much, as porters have a coffe-esque flavor anyway
