Added lactose about 15 minutes before the end of the boil. Added brewed coffee to cooled wort. (90ºF)
Pitched 1400ml starter around 68ºF. In a rush, so not exactly sure. |

There is a sour tang that I hope goes away when fermentation is complete. Coffee flavor is well-balanced, so I probably will not add in secondary. |

Read that that tang may be from adding the whole starter instead of just the yeast part. Let yeast starters settle out, then pour off most of the liquid and add just the yeast. (Duh) Will taste tomorow and decide whether to add ground coffee for another week. |

Tang has reduced, but not disappeared entirely. Actually complements the coffee flavor. Slight sweetness from lactose. |

Chilled sample has almost no noticeable tang. Decided to bottle without any dry coffee. |

Sour tang still prevalent, but may be too green. Great head color, but very little and goes away quickly. Try at weekly intervals to see if conditioning helps.
For future recipes, consider more lactose (1#) and/or wheat kicker for head. |
