Notes

Based on 2022 but can't get Honey malt in UK at this time (see 2022 notes)
Add 500g toasted coconut flakes to the 2nd fermenter after primary fermentation for 2 to 7 days (to taste) - I target 7 days, (see 2022 notes.)
Honey was Rich and Dark from Asda, 340g size, new for 2023 added to secondary fermentation along with coconut to reduce honey taste off-gassing
Aiming for honey notes and coconut = Gorse flowers
Hops see 2022 notes.
At bottling looks to be very pale, very coconut and very rich - Should be a bit special.
Tasting - Wow, coconut with rich malt finish, warming and full bodied. Bitter enough not to be cloying.
