So im thinking about doing a cocnut chocolate porter but am not sure on how i would go about getting the coconut flavor. Has anyone had sucess with this because i also know that it is kind of a subter flavor alot of the time.
I added some to lime once and I drank them both together.
I made a coconut porter and the flavor is not noticeable to be worth the trouble of filtering it out of the secondary. I ended up with chunks in each bottle which grosses me out.
Kona Brewing make a coconut brown ale, one again I didn't think the coconut brought much to the table and ended up giving it a hot alcohol flavor.
You're doing it wrong. I put the toasted coconut in a hops bag and tie it up, and then rack on top of that. The beer gets exactly as much coconut flavor as I intend, and no chunks.
Any hot alcohol flavor you got is not from the coconut. Maybe the store you bought it from kept the cans sitting in a back room with no air conditioning for a month or two in the middle of summer before they stuck it on the shelf for you to buy.
