First effort tasted good but was spoiled by the coconut oils from dry hopping with desiccated coconut. 2nd batch I toasted 100g dess. Coconut and tried to dry as much oil off as possible on paper towels and added to the mash. I roasted another 200g and soaked it in vodka for 3 weeks while in the fermenter. At bottling I added my coconut liquor along with about 50ml I think of coconut essence. After about 6-7 months in the bottle the head retention is great and the coconut flavor has melded pretty well into the beer. Recipe is on hop like under my handle Rank_amateur. 23 liter was the 2nd batch.<br /><br />CheersAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703809755883059205noreply@blogger.com
