I have 5 lbs of coffee malt, does anyone have any good recipe suggestions for this? Also, what liquid yeast would I use? |

Use it anywhere you would use brown malt, its basically the same thing.
Here is an old (overly complex just because) Robust Porter recipe that uses it:

Yeast
-----
White Labs WLP005 British Ale
I've tasted an imperial porter made with the above recipe, but using actual coffee malt in place of brown and it was just as tasty.
If you use WL005 into a beer that strong either make a starter or buy two vials. I pitch and ferment in low to mid 60's. I prefer to keep it under 65F if possible.
The other place you COULD use coffee malt is in a brown ale. But chocolate and/or amber malt is way more appropriate.
The Stone 8th Anniversary Ale was my favorite stone beer. When the recipe was published showing brown malt, I was not surprised. There is something about brown/coffee malt that is very appealing and different. Especially with dark crystal in the mix. |

If you haven't tried BVIP, you really should. It calls for brown malt (but I am not familiar with coffee malt) |
