Notes

To toast the coconut, spread on a cookie sheet and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 15 minutes or until lightly brown. Allow to cool completely. Then you put the lime in the coconut (i.e., combine the zest and toasted coconut) in a mesh bag or “hop sock” and steep in the fermentor. Taste the beer after 3 days and again every 2 days until it tastes how you like it. Remove the coconut/lime and package, carbonate, and enjoy.
