I am thinking of brewing an imperial stout with coconut and aging it with rum soaked oak cubes. Problem is, I have never brewed with coconut before. When/how do I put it into the wort? At flame out? Do I use fresh coconut? Or do I toast it in the oven first? I have heard of issues in the boil with coconut fat, and I have also heard of putting it into the secondary fermenter. Help! I will probably shoot for a brew day in about 2 weeks. I'm brewing a light beer for the wife this weekend, and when my fermenter frees up from that, I will begin planning this one.
