General Info

From previous brew sessions:

  • Added 1.5 quarts of Bryer's Fat Free Vanilla ice cream to boil (in addition to lactose).
  • Steeped 1/3 cup organic French Roast Sumatra coffee in 12oz of water for 14 days; strained and added 4 tsp of vanilla extract to coffee, which, in turn, was added to the beer at kegging.
  • Added gelatin at 50 degrees and cold crashed to 34 degrees over a 36 hour period.
