White Stout / blonde

[Jon Meuzelaar]

Thinking ahead to next winter already and want to prep up a white stout that's got a good bit of coffee flavor and aroma up front, a reasonable amount of vanilla, and a bit of chocolate on the finish. I don't want to make Frappucino beer, and while I want it to have a nice creamy mouthfeel and decent body it shouldn't be saccharin or cloying. I've never brewed with coffee or cacao nibs so any input there is good.

Have a look at this recipe. Except for the vanilla, it is almost what you are looking for. Just note the ingredients and timing.

Dang it. Thought it was. Now it is.

Good recipe. You might consider using ground coffee, crushed beans, or instant coffee instead of whole beans. Those don’t tend to give off much coffee flavor unless they’re cracked at least. Everything else looks pretty good.

I disagree with the coffee statement.
I make a beer called Nuts about Beans that has whole bean coffee added after cold crash and the coffee that comes through is impressive.
