General Info

Brewed in hopes that it is chosen by the Rockyard as a seasonal beer for the winter.

Plan on presenting two versions: one with chicory and coffee, one without.

Steeped 1/3 cup of Peaberry Viennese Blend and 1 1/2 tablespoons of chicory root from Brewer's Best in 16 oz of water overnight.

Special Procedures

Cold steep coffee and chicory together overnight (or use a coffee flavored with chicory). 2/3 cup ground coffee to 24 oz. water. Add to secondary. Ferment cool.
