Notes

Bake 8 oz. of shredded coconut (spread thinly) at 350F for 10 minutes or until surface is golden brown.

Add in 4 oz. of toasted coconut to mash

Add in 4 oz. of toasted coconut @ 5min for end of boil.

For secondary:

Use vanilla bean infused vodka (1 split vanilla bean in a mason jar of vodka) to soak ~3 oz of cacao nibs (organic). Add in 3 oz of cacao nibs to sanitized hop bag with coconut (see below). Pour the remaining vodka into the fermenter (volume is about 2 Tablespoons).

Toast additional 5 oz. flaked coconut (unsweetened) as per above and follow directions below:

Transfer 5 oz toasted coconut to sanitized hop bag with sanitized spatula and add to fermenter. Do this about 2-3 days into fermentation.

3 of 5

I liked the level of coconut and cacao in this. The roasted malts were balanced well too. I had issues with attenuation (due to a rapid temperature shift in the basement while fermenting) so the attenuation was low. Due to this, the beer was sweeter than I had hoped. It'll benefit from a re-brew. I would also consider using a wheat or carapils in the bill to increase head retention. Since there is an abundance of coconut, head retention is rather poor. I expected this when making it, but it is something to be aware of.
