Notes
  • Water chemistry is very important for this recipe
    At start of boil I pulled 1 gallon of wort off and boiled down by 2/3 to 1/2 until slightly syrupy. This is a key technique I do with all Porters.

    Add 1lb toasted and 1lb untoasted coconut after completion of fermentation. Blend in grain bag and add to keg for 1 week or until desired flavor. Then remove.

    Add 3oz coco nibs to keg sanitized grain bag after coconut stage. Allow to marry with beer for 1 week before serving and leave in keg for the very short life cycle of beer.

    * I had to stop making this beer because it was too good.
