Welcome.... Funny how once you start you can't stop. LOL Great to have you in the group. It is nice to try out new craft beers for the academic study. :) Really like the signature.

Also remember to thoroughly clean and sanitize everything that has touch that batch. Especially what m00ps said about the bucket. I would use it from now on for other uses.

Made a Blackberry Wit last year used 2 pounds of Blackberries for a 5 gallon batch. Thawed and soak in Vodka for sanitation. Couldn't keep it due to friends and family drinking it all. Next time I will make two batches. LOL :D Had in secondary on fruit for 2 weeks.

Here is a link to a you tube video for a full boil extract with specialty grain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqS6b_k9fmA One of many on the web hope this helps. Next thing you will be moving to all grain. LOL Enjoy the process and the finish product......

Welcome to the group. Once the brewing bug bites it is hard not to enjoy.

Welcome to the group from the East Coast.

I brewed a vanilla coconut a while back. i used unsweetened coconut flakes. first thing was to use a pan on the stove to lightly brown the flakes. Then used a paper bag to absorb extra oil once that was done placed in a muslin bag and added to secondary just like adding hops for dry hopping...

Great giveaway I'm in....

Here is a link to a side by side build that i saw on HBT a while ago. Hope you can use some of the ideals in it. Good luck with your project. :mug: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=289241

Doing 5 gallons of Summer Citrus Wheat this morning trying to beat the heat today.

I am in agreement with letting the batch ride. My suggestion is to review your whole brewing process to figure out where things could have gone astray. Use this as a learning experience that will help improve the next batch. One thing I have learned is that taking good notes while brewing helps...
