Here's the recipe that I put together from some research and help from my LHBS. A lot of coconut beer recipes I read were saying that they could barely taste the coconut, so I used the method I found that used a lot of coconut.
It was a little rushed, but I was excited. And since the entire keg is already gone after 2 weeks, I think all my friends liked it as much as I did.
