I've used Sabro a few times and it was mostly fruity, and a bit muddled. If you are looking for coconut, you might be disappointed. Then again, hops are a great mystery to me and depending on the source, vintage, freshness etc., you just never know.The possibility of a coconut note in the Sabro has me intrigued. I hear Cedar a lot too, and that sounds interesting.
Ah beautiful choice!I was considering Golden Promise, or maybe Vienna... 3 oz for 3 gallon batch.

SMaSH biab is the plan.Test it by doing a simple SMASH beer, or even an extract batch! Extract, particularly DME, is great for testing ingredients....
I've done extract brewing on & off since the '90s. Trying to perfect all grain biab now, in 2.5 to 3 gal. batches.Good luck with it. Being a lazy old fart, for a test brew, I don't bother mashing. I also make a small batch, a gallon or so, before investing the time and resources for a full brew. Besides, you remove variables from the test when using DME, a commercial product made to pretty tight standards - I do quality for a living so think about such things, not a critique of your idea or process at all!
