I was hoping for some help on this recipe (actually a LOT of help!) Here goes:

- I dont really want to use coconut extract, rather I want to use toasted coconut. About how much is necessary? I want the flavor to be fairly pronounced.

- What type of hops would do best with the sweet coconut?

- What type of yeast is best suited for a sweet (coconut coffee) stout?

- I am considering spring water (preferably Hawaiian spring water). My tap water is just ok. Is spring water a good option?


Thanks in advance for the advice!!

Coconut doesn't have an assertive flavor like cherry or raspberry so you will need to use more to have a pronounced flavor. I would add 3-5lbs of toasted coconut with 20 min. left in the boil and at bottling add coconut extract to taste.

I would recommend using only bittering hops--no flavor or aroma to get in the way of the coconut.

You can use English Ale yeast (WLP002 or WY1968) or Irish Ale yeast (WLP004 or WY1084) If you are to go with Irish Ale i would recommend adding lactose at the end of the boil or at bottling to backsweeten

Spring water is fine.

Hope this helps!

Does this have anything to do with Stone/Maui/Schmidt beer out right now?...

Was Kaj030201 ahead of his time?
