This IS NOT my recipe. I got it here, but can't find it any more. maybe it's here, and maybe not. Cudos and props to the original mystery poster. I only printed enough of it to get me going. I will give you everything off the page I printed. Then I will add some of my notes.

1.50 ozs Centennial 5 days
.5 lb unsweetened coconut 1-3 days(don't over do it)
Dry English Ale White Labs 0007 (big starter)
Mashed at 148*F
Notes
-Total 2 lbs of coconut. 1 lb in the boil and then .5 lb into each fermenter/keg.
-2 lbs of sugar into the boil; 1.5 lbs sugar dissolved and tossed into each fermenter when fermentation shows signs of slowing.
-Could have used cal ale yeast and would have been great too I'm sure, I just had that on hand.
-Definitely the untoasted coconut is my favorite of the batches I've done. the toasted coconut added too much of a burnt/roasted flavor even if you don't over toast it.
-The 60 min hop additions did not have to be all that, I just had some hops I wanted to get rid of and they were all clean bittering, high AA.
-I really like the addition of Centennial and Mosaic in the recipe as well, it adds more depth of flavor!
-Only issue I had was FG stopped at 1.014 instead of what I would have rather had of around 1.010to dry it out a bit more but not a big deal.
If you brew it and you keg the beer, I would do the the coconut in the boil, then dry hop it and then see if you need more coconut or not. Just be careful with coconutting, it imparts flavor fast! You definitely get a HUGE amount of aroma and flavor though when you dry hop it, so I would suggest doing it some. The best rounded flavor I was able to get was after doing what I have listed above. If you do too much of the coconut it comes across too sweet, and if you hop it too much it will overpower the coconut.
/\ And that my friends is what I have from the OP.
Some of my notes...
Lots of hops, consider using a bucket and hop bags.
Absolutely do 10 gallons if you can. You will wish you would have.
I used S-05 yeast.
Again apologies to the OP for hacking your wonderful recipe. At least 2 people have asked for it, so being the poor typer and computer dip stick that I am, I posted it again.
Cheers, and brew on Baby!
