I put an entire bag of Aldi coffee beans into the primary near the end of fermentation and left them there for a week. I was looking for a strong coffee taste on this hence the amount of beans. It definately worked well for flavour but if you don't want the taste to be pretty overpowering i'd say 1/4 bag or less would be plenty.

Did you leave the beans whole?

Yep, just checked the contents of the bag straight in
