http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/winemaking/wine-ingredients/grape-concentrate/alexander-s-muscat-46-oz.html Although when I brewed I used Alexander's Gewurztraminer it's a little spicer than Muskat and it turned out fantastic!

I would have to say yes, your assumption its correct its all about bragging rights. Be the first one to brew a beer with the most expensive coffee in the world. Now thats Bragging rights...:rockin:

Im no stranger to expensive brews as I made the DFH Midas Touch that one came in at 140 to brew. As for this one I will only need 50.00 worth of the coffee, so this one all total should still be a tad cheeper then that last extreme brew. As the for the base components I used Beer tools...

So I decided to get a jocky box for Home brew fests I searched around and saw they run from 200 all the way up to 500 or more. So I checked craigs list and found a used 2 tap box with a big plate chiller for 110.00...

I decieded to Keg this one and let it rest under co2 for a few months. It Cleared out beautifully and is a interensting burnt amber color. Force carbonating now will Taste test in a week or so :ban:

Well the beer is still in secondary Im toying with the idea of oaking with a med toast french oak for a few weeks then bottle. I took a sneek taste its good but will need some aging to mello since it is so hot. Post updateds when i am ready to bottle:fro:

Primary fernmentation finally pooped out after a week of steady fermentation. Going to let it rest for a few days to finish out and rack to secondary will get final g at that point...:fro:

Well i could let it sit for a year or so before any one drinks it.... waiting till ferm to poop out to get final gravity. can any one estimate what the addition of the grape would add to OG? that way i can get aprox abv?

Well at day 3 activity had slowed down suffiecntly to add the grape concentrate (In my haste I did not get a gravity reading :( ) Checked this morning activity going strong again. Now here is my worry the yeast I used can ferment out at 12% do really want a beer that hot? Shoud I drop...

DAY 2 and still plugging along on primary 1 or 2 more days and i add the grape concentrate! its like a science experement lol :fro:

Agreed, I did mis speek on the presence of dormant bacteria and i do folow the prohibition on giving infants honey. Having said that... My 2 year old is not drinking the beer as well......:drunk:
