So after doing a bunch of reading on other sites and this one and not being able to find a full rundown on a coconut porter recipe from start to finish I thought I'd go ahead and through in my 2 cents and come up with one. After looking through the info I settled on doing AHS toasted coconut porter (Extract). I don't know if I can post the exact recipe so I'll just give an outline until I get some info as to if it's alright. Seems like a porter recipe with flaked oats for head retention and mouthfeel. Some bittering hops at 60 min. and flavor/aroma at 10min. I used whirfloc at 7min. and got a quick chill down to 72F in about 8min. Did a full boil with 6gallons accounting for boil off. Final volume was 5.25gal OG 1.058-1.060, used a refractometer with a brix of 14.8-15 and came up with that conversion. Some stuff came up and it was either no starter or wait a month to brew. So I picked up 2 vials white lab 007 and pitched. Airlock activity @ 7hr. and I will update as much as possible. My one question is how much unsweetend flaked coconut to use? The recipe calls for 1lb. toasted, however I don't want a light coconut so I was thinking about doing 1.5lb, just worried about head retention by the increase. Hope this can help anyone thinking about making a coconut porter.
