    Fruit Cider in a Cask

    Adding Coconut, Cacao Nibs and a Vanilla Bean

    I am toasting flaked coconuts and cacao nibs tonight to add to my English Porter. After toasting the coconuts and cacao nibs in the oven, do they have to be sanitized before adding them to the secondary? I have been reading some forums and getting mixed reviews.

    In the most recent issue of Zymurgy, they had a recipe for an English Porter with Coconuts, Cacao Nibs and a Madagascar Vanilla Bean. I brewed the porter yesterday. I have a few questions for adding stuff to the secondary after fermentation. How would you suggest adding the coconuts to the...
