I am making a coconut porter. I have 10oz of fresh coconut I was going to put into the boil my dilemma is to toast the coconut or not before adding into the boil? Ill drop at least 12oz into secondary toasted. It's a extract with specialty grains thanks

Update on the coconut chocolate stout! It came out pretty good, just cracked it open today... It's a nice dry stout with a hit of coconut and a nice light smell of chocolate. I didn't add the creme de coco just did the coco powder at flameout and 8oz of coconut toasted and placed in a mesh bag...

Maui Coconut Porter is my favorite brew on the market! Wish I could brew a beer like that

Coconut extract sounds good!! I would think that the coconut water would add a little flavor to it when added at flameout but I'm not sure if would be worth the cost to taste reward. I think I'm going to stick to at least a pound of toasted organic non sweet coconut into the secondary although I...

Thanks everyone I truly appreciate the advice in regards to the coconut usage

So my next beer is going to be a extract with specialty grains coconut porter, I want a HUGE coconut flavor in the beer, can I use a can of coconut creme or coconut milk at flameout or during boil to help enhance the coconut flavor? I would then add the organic toasted coconut during secondary.

i will be toasting the coconut this weekend and dropping into a mesh bag i will weigh it down with some sanitized marbles let it sit for a week before bottling my 5 gallon batch. My wife picked me up supplies from my local home brewery store and they built her a kit based on what she said i...

Thanks for all the advice, I'm going to let it sit in the primary for a little while longer and then let it bottle condition until the flavors blend to my liking.

So I made a chocolate stout, extract with specialty grains. It's been sitting in the primary for 10 days now and I was wondering if a secondary was necessary before bottling and letting them sit to carb for three weeks. I got the supplies at my LHBS.... I would bottle on day 14

Sween, I don't enjoy the smell or taste (long story) of piss so I'm gonna stick with the toasted coconut flakes and maybe extract at the secondary. Thanks for your advice!

I have wanted to do a coconut porter and this sounds perfect!! So what's the verdict of adding coconut water at flameout and about 1lb of toasted coconut to the secondary of this recipe has anyone tried that? Results??

forgot to add would like it to be extract with specialty grains or partial mash

Okay Brew Fam, I am in search of a sweet chocolate stout recipe. I'd love it to have rich chocolate smells taste and tones with a smooth chocolate creaminess. I know why not just eat a candy bar... Well the thing is I like beer better than generic candy bars, anyone have a sweet chocolate stout...

I think I might have to swing by the brew hut since I'm in littleton and scoop up this kit. I'm pretty excited to try it!!

You think I should do a partial mash instead of just steeping?

Thanks everyone for the input! I think with the right specialty grains picked for my 6lbs of wheat malt syrup it seems like it will develop a great mouthfeel, I might have to do two 2 1/2 gallon batches one with maltrodextrin and one without and see which I prefer more
