Coffee Porter 2, Helles Bock

After cold steeping a half pound of French roast coffee, I added 750 ml to the keg, then racked the porter. Not thinking, I didn't do anything to the coffee from a sanitation standpoint, but 21 days after there is no sign of infection (knock on wood). Bottled 6 for archival purposes.

Last weekend I brewed another batch of the Helles bock I had such success with. Unfortunately, I had a friend over whom I hadn't seen in quite some time, so I wasn't very mindful of the brew session. Either my hydrometer is way off or this session totally sucked as the OG was way low. Only time will tell.

Shout out to our buddy Bill Hartley, who is on the mend. Get well soon, Billy!
