Oatmeal + Coffee, Oatmeal + Chipotle Chili Pepper = Beer

We bottled the oatmeal stout, it finished at 1022 for 5.7% alcohol. We decided to fool around with some of the beer by adding some coffee to some and chipotle pepper to others. We added 1/2 tsp of coffee to each of 4 bottles and 1 tsp to each of 2 bottles to get an idea of the power of the coffee in the beer incase we want to add coffee to an entire batch in the future. We then added ~3/4 tsp of chipotle chili pepper to the last of the beer and got 9 bottles of that. So, in about 2-3 weeks we should be able to see how everything tastes, hopefully it turns out good.
