Here is a label. Now I suppose I need to get a recipe together. Dark Stout...Caribbean Rum...Can't go wrong can ya?
Check my Recipe below my avitar. It is a derivation of a stout that I made about 8 years ago. It was great then, should be great now.TheGAC said:Good enough of a splash to get us seriously wasted and talking like pirates?
I would love to see the recipe sometime if you'd like to share.
No stout yet...the Dunkle is going to bottle on Saturday. It has a lot more banana (Natural) than I thought it would. I was planning on a 750 ML of Banana Rum...It's not going to take that much i dont' think.BakerStreeBeers said:I am as well. I would also like to know more about debaniels Banana Foster Dunkel.
Rack onto 3 cups grated Confectioners Coconut, and let it sit for 10 days. Be carefull to avoid the oil that will be on top of the beer when racking to bottle bucket.
Bottle with 5 oz Priming sugar and 1 1/2 Litre of Rum. Appleton Estates.
Good Point on both. My math skills suck, but I figure 1 1/2 ltr of rum will add less than 2% ABV. I have done it before (Bananas on the Beach in "My Recipe") and it carbed just fine.this may be a noobie kinda question, but wouldn't that much rum bring the alcohol content too high for the yeast to carbonate the beer, being over the toxicity level of the yeast (depending on what yeast you use of course)
Also, I wonder if using dried coconut shavings would work better, that oil is going to kill your head retention.
I think I'm going to actually toast some dry coconut in the oven just before adding to the beer...and I'm only going to do 1/2 the batch with the coconut, just in case....
but you'll lose out on the head.
The last thing I wanted to know is how long did you let it sit in the secondary before bottling?
This thread is what made me join home brew talk, so congratulations all of you.

First, what temp and how long are you planning on toasting the coconut? The second thing that I noticed was that beergorila was only planning on adding 13 oz of rum, which is about a quarter of what BigK was originally projecting. I really enjoy my rum, so I would probably lean toward at least a fifth, and since I'll be force carbing I'm not too worried about overdoing it.
Toastermm, what was your final gravity when you brewed this? Mine is coming out higher than i expected, but i'd love another point of reference.
Thanks
