Notes

To reduce the oils brought in by the shredded coconut, I covered with paper towels and baked in the oven for about 20 minutes on each side @ 300F and patted down with a paper towel again before putting in the fermenter. Not worried about infection at that point due to the beer already being alcoholic and the paper towel + coconut having been baked at 300F.

Super sessionable, great summer beer.
