Mash In Add 11.71 qt of water at 167.9 F 152.0 F 60 min


Notes:
------
bottled 2/8/11. 1lb fancy (fancy looks like chips rather than shreds) flaked coconut from whole foods was added to fermenter for a week. 1oz oak chips were soaked in pusser's rum in a sealed jar, just enough to cover. After 2 weeks all the rum was drained and added at bottling and the chips were set aside. An extra splash of rum was added for good measure. Taste before adding rum had a good coconut flavor, after adding rum, might have overdone it a little bit... that should fade with age though and may be fine when the beer is ready.

How'd you get the drawing in there ? I use the same application to put my labels together.

I used that application then photoshopped the resulting jpeg. I like starting with the template but I also like throwing pics and other info in there.

As a Monkey Island fan I absolutely love it!
Perhaps in the future you can brew a beer called "Grog" and list the ingredients on the label as "a secret mixture that contains one or more of the following: Kerosene, Propylene Glycol, Artificial Sweeteners, Sulfuric Acid, Rum, Acetone, Battery Acid, red dye#2, Scumm, Axle grease and/or pepperoni"

Hahaha I almost did that actually, but then I decided that this was a little too refined to be called grog

The beer actually turned out fantastic, I'm planning on entering it in the NHC.

The only downside to brewing a batch of MI grog is the way it eats through your mugs...

On the plus side, padlocks will never again be an obstacle to you
