1 pound of shredded coconut toasted @ ~300* for 15min or until lightly browned.
Rack beer onto coconut in secondary for 7-14days or until you get the flavor you desire.
Don't be put off by the "oil slick" sheen that will be on the beer. This is just floating coconut oil.
If you want an extract you can soak the toasted coconut in vodka to make "tincture" type extract
There is also "capella" drops but ive had no experience with the coconut and some of the flavors that I did have were not to stellar
Hope that helps!
Cheers!

This does help, and I was possibly going this way, but the last time I made this beer, it was lacking any head - pretty sure it was my fault in the priming addition. I kinda want to stay away from another headless attempt which I hear the coconut oils do...
