Thanks for the update, ok so thats 2 lbs of kona beans. when you cold brewed how much of the spring H2O did you use? Lastly, in regards to the coconut extract and flaked, what stage did you add these ingredients. ie mash, sparge, boil, primary or secondary? I have most of the ingredients together and plan on brewing in the next week or so. thanks for your help

Actually I cold brewed in a French press. Only enough coffee grounds for 32oz of spring water. The organic unsweetened flaked coconut was toasted in the oven and added to the primary actually. No secondary. Added 4oz organic coconut extract at bottling. Happy brewing!
