Im trying to stick to BJCP Style Requirement for a Brown Porter but add my own flair. I have this uncontrollable urge to use real toasted coconut and Hershey's cocoa powder. Im considering adding both to my mash with a particular emphasis on cocoa in my mash. I want the chocolate to be fairly pronounced while my coconut is an undertone flavor. I think I may toast coconut flakes in the oven and add them to my primary fermentation. I definitely want to do something different with this brew. I'm gunning for:
OG = 1.052
FG = 1.014
Bittnerness of 25 IBU
Color of 27 SRM
ABV around 5%
I want a bitterness ratio just over .500
Does this sound attractive to you? Oh, using 1084 Irish Ale yeast
