Before you use it
Steeped warm or ground fine it turns ashy and astringent within hours. A lighter roast in a blonde beer reads as fruit rather than as coffee, which surprises people.
Description
Whole roasted beans steeped cold in finished beer, which takes the aromatics and leaves behind most of the harsh extraction a hot brew gives. Whole rather than ground keeps the beer clear and makes the contact time easy to control.
