Looks like it turned out great! What do you think of the amount of coconut used? and it clearly didn't affect the head at all. I was a little surprised at the gypsum addition. Any specific reason for it?

I'll be trying my own version of this soon! Thanks for the great idea.


Whoops. The gypsum was from copying and pasting the recipe layout from another post.

No gypsum. Sorry.

This beer smells like chocolate coconut cake!

From what I have read, thoroughly toasting all of the coconut until it ls all golden brown helps expel most of the oils and will minimize the head retention issue.

Gonna do a rebrew on this tomorrow. Already have the starter going.

I"m going to leave out the coconut though. It was prevalent in the first 5-6 pints then disipated and I never tasted it again.

Q

Successful brew day. Numbers right on target! OG of 1.055...

Yeast flocculated like hell. English Ale yeast looks like cottage cheese swirling around in the starter. LOL

Everything's in the fermenter now and I'm just awaiting signs of activity on the airlock.
