I found the following website floating amidst the vastness of the World Wide Web.
http://www.hrbts.org/recipes/2008/july-08/JPCoconutMead3rdtie.htm
Now - depending on what type of Honey you use, it can range between 11.25 to about 12.10 pounds per gallon. I would be willing to say that 9 pounds is 3/4 of a gallon.
The stupid part is that this recipe mentions nothing of Coconut... leaving me to guess. The Pineapple seems like it will become a pina colada type deal - which is cool with me. However... What proportions?
A few things. I refuse to boil my honey. I think that alot of people get this wrong. Honey last so long on your shelf because it is too acidic for bacteria to live in. So, I am thinking I should add 3/4 Gallon of honey to 2.25 gallons of water. In the fermentor, add a pureed pineapple and 1 pound of toasted coconut? Let it sit in Primary and then leave it behind when racking into secondary?
Thoughts? Thanks all!
