Notes

Additional Info Re: coconut.

I used successfully used shredded coconut last time (i couldn't find flaked). I will do the same this time.

Roast coconut lightly in the oven.

After roasting, place in a bowl that has been sanitised and keep covered.

Add to fermenter for 3 - 5 days as a dry hop.
I added it loose last time without issues. Cold crashing and using a floating diptube in the round bottom Fermzilla meant no clogged transfer tubes.

Alternatively add the coconut directly to the keg and you can add more to taste. Suggest using a floating dip tube or hoping if you try this

Changes from V1 to V2

Using Fuggles instead of EKG (it's what I have)
Using Wyeast 1028 London Ale instead of Whitelabs 002. I think they are basically the strain and once again it's only because I don't have any 002 in my yeast bank atm
Slight increase in some grains.

The colour was great last time even though in the recipe builder it appeared dk brown. This was jet black within awesome tan head.
