Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need: 5 pounds of pale malt extract, 1 pound of chocolate malt, 1/2 pound of roasted barley, 1/2 pound of flaked oats, 1/4 pound of crystal 80L malt, 1/4 pound of black patent malt, 1/2 ounce of Columbus hops, 1/2 ounce of Cascade hops, 1/4 ounce of Fuggles hops, 1/4 ounce of United Kingdom Fuggles hops, 1 teaspoon of Irish moss, 2 packages of dry American ale yeast, 2 ounces of cocoa nibs, 1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes, and priming sugar.
Instructions
Start by steeping the grains in 2 gallons of water at 152°F for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the grains and discard. Add the malt extract and the hops to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Boil for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add the Irish moss and the cocoa nibs at the last 15 minutes of the boil.
Once the boil is complete, take the pot off the heat and add the coconut flakes. Cover the pot and let the mixture cool for about 20 minutes. Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a fermenter and add the yeast. Place an airlock on the fermenter and let the beer ferment for about two weeks at 65-70°F.
After two weeks, transfer the beer to a bottling bucket and add the priming sugar. Bottle the beer and let it condition for another two weeks. Once the beer is carbonated, it is ready to be enjoyed!
Notes
It is important to make sure that the yeast is activated before adding it to the fermenter. To do this, add the yeast to 1/2 cup of warm (100°F) water and let it sit for 15 minutes. The yeast should be foamy and active before adding it to the fermenter.
It is also important to make sure that the beer is stored in a cool, dark place during the fermentation process. This will help ensure that the beer ferments properly and produces the best possible flavor.
