If it were me... :whistle:

I'ld add the pre-brewed coffee at kegging...

It's not gonna get any more coffee (ish) since it's already brewed...

IE: You're adding brewed coffee, not coffee grounds...

Just a thought...

:cool:

I've read it wains pretty fast so I was thinking if I'm not going to be drinking it anytime soon since I'm waiting for keg space, I should wait a bit.... No?

Hmmm, I've not read that, nor have I had that experience... But ok... Maybe...

Just add a little more then! :idea:

Even if it does fade, you mentioned it's good as is too so, no harm no foul I suppose...

Good points and I appreciate your input. I'll chew on this a bit more. I guess I can't really lose no matter what I do.
The main thing is that I have to drink more so my kegerater always has an open spot ready for pouring.

Kegged and added cold press coffee and it's not coffee enough so I'll add more in a few days and if that doesn't help, I'll do what RedBEERd did and add some crushed beans to the keg. That's what I guess I should have done in the first place.

After 2 doses of cold press, I finally did what RedBEERd did to his version of a coffee porter and added less than he did to get more of a pronounced, coffee flavor and aroma.
I know coffee beers are not popular with lots of people but I really love them. This one is a winner for my tastes. Next time I make a stout, I might try adding coffee to it too. Feels good to make a beer that I'm not picking apart. I'm very hard on my beers so I'll pat myself on the back for this one.
