Coconut (flaked) - Toasted (omitted from calculations)
Coconut (flaked)
Coconut (Cocos nucifera) belongs to the Palm family Arecaceae and is found growing around the world in lowland, tropical and subtropical habitats. Classed as a fruit, it is actually a one-seeded drupe. What we buy in shops is the "stone" of this drupe, consisting of a hard shell (the endocarp) which encloses the seed. It has a mild nutty sweet flavor.

Pilsner was not my favorite

I made this from a Mr. Beer pilsner kit at 2.5 gallons and I have to say it turned out great. I just added the amount of toasted coconut to the boiling hop extract.
