Yeah the banana flavor from hef yeast is what intrigues me about using it with this beer. Curious how it would work with tropical/citrus hop flavors. Thanks for the response!

Has anybody tried this style of beer with a Hef yeast?

Sweet! Love the magnet on the back as well!

When I've done it in the past it's usually been at the end of the boil. Last 5 minutes or so.

Not to long ago I brewed a coconut milk dipa and used 2lb of coconut. It did not take me any longer to carb the beer than normal and I actually didn't experience any head retention loss. In fact the beer had great lacing down the glass until the last drop.

Yeah, I would place them in a hop sack or 1 gallon paint strainer. You could even tie some non-scented/flavored dental floss to the sack and hang it from the lid so that you can pull it out later once you have the amount of chocolate flavor you want.

You could always soak some more nibs in Vodka and add it all to the keg.

I had a leak when I first installed my system. Eventually I had to dunk everything in order to find it. The first leak was actually coming from the ball lock quick connect, where the pin is that presses on the poppet. I replaced the ball lock quick connect and that fixed the first issue...

I can only assume he is referencing the NFL.

I just kegged the amber and it turned out well. I dry hopped the crap out of it though, so my opinion on the kit by itself may be worthless. :)

They are not needed, but they come in handy! I have 3 flow control Intertap faucets that I wish I had just bought right out of the gate. Would have saved me on the crappy regular ones that stick like crazy. Anyway, I highly recommend the flow control ones. They are great for growler fills...

I don't think the amount of time it's in the keg is an issue. 2lb of shredded coconut takes up a ton of room in 6 1/2g bucket fermenter. I think if you were to place all of it in the keg, then you would only have room for 4g of beer. This is why in my last post I suggest doing the...

I completely agree with this post. I don't really see the need to brew a kit or a "normal" IPA style first. Really the only difference is whirlpool/dry hops and both of those things either come at the very end/after the brew day. Plus you have done research and will have a friend with you who...

I've heard of other people doing this on coconut stouts/porters. The next time I brew this, I was thinking of keeping the same amount of coconut in secondary, then maybe adding half a pound in a bag at kegging.

Awesome, thanks for the give-a-ways, I'm in for both. Would love to try the All-Grain Tropic Haze!

Not an actual how to tear down instruction sheet, but it should provide the information to get you on your way. http://www.intertap.beer/Downloads/Intertap%208473.pdf

Did you adjust the recipe from the original post at all?

I just brewed the wheat beer to spec. It's pretty decent. My dad liked it, which is the main reason I got it. I'll be doing the amber next. Was thinking of adding some dry hops to it. Maybe Amarillo, centennial and simcoe.

No, leave the co2 connected at your serving pressure. the keg will eventually reach equilibrium.

I agree with this. Also you said that you shook them during this time, which would definitely over-carb them. You really need to leave them at 30psi for 24-48 hours and don't shake, OR shake the hell out of them at 30psi for 2 minutes. I would do some research on how to burst carb and force...
