My wife has been asking me to make her a Coconut Cream Stout ever since we had one at a beerfest a couple months back. I finally feel like I can start brewing darker beers, so I started working on a recipe for her...any advice would be fantastic...thanks!
Fermentables:
Pale Malt (2 Row) US Grain 7.500 lb 79% 2 L
Chocolate Malt (US) Grain 16.000 oz 60% 350 L
Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L Grain 12.000 oz 74% 80 L
Carafa III Grain 10.000 oz 70% 525 L
Flaked Rye Grain 8.000 oz 78% 2 L
Milk Sugar (Lactose) Sugar 9.000 oz 76% 0 L (@ flameout)
Cocoa Powder Adjunct 8.000 oz 0% 8 L (@ flameout)
Hop Additions:
Fuggles 4% 1.500 oz Boil 1.000 hr Pellet 22.0
Fuggles 4% 0.500 oz Boil 30.000 min Pellet 5.6
Add 20 oz Coconut to Secondary for 7-14 days depending on taste.
Safale S-04
Mash just a little high...say at 156.
I'm hoping for this to be a sweet chocolate coconut sort of thing. Is there anything I can do to help counteract the oils in the coconut or should I just count on no head with this beer?? Will the caramel malts help at all, maybe?
