Recipe Coconut porter
5gal batch
9lbs 5oz Pale Malt 2row Marris Otter
1lb 12oz Chocholate Malt
10.5 oz Crystal 80L
.75 oz East Kent Goldings 60 min
1.0 oz Northern Brewer 30min
4.0 oz Hersheys Bakers Chocolate Powder 10 min
2 lbs Mounds Coconut (Roasted brown) in Primary 3 weeks
2 lbs Mounds Coconut (Roasted brown) secondary 2 weeks
Mashed @ 154 for 60 min
London ale yeast
I am about to do this again as it is very tasty and probably on of my favorite beers now, but there is one thing i have got to fix. The fat and oils from the coconut does cause some head retention and lacing problems, and i would like to counter act this. I have brewed this once and i missed my mash temp low 150-149 and i didnt get the body i would have liked either, this can be corrected, will this also correct the retention problems or should i add something like carapils and how much?
