Coconut Pale Ale Brew Session

8/18/17 Did starter 6:30am, using 200g DME and 2L water. Boiled 13min, got 1600mL at 11.3 brix (1.045). 8/19/17 started to steep grains around 10:50 a.m. Sparge at 11:40 a.m. . Steeped in 2 gallons water and sparge with one gallon. Boil started at 12:05 p.m., pre boil gravity 11 brix (1.044). Followed timing schedule for hops. Boil ended at 1:08 p.m., final gravity 15 brix (1.061). This is right on the money where I want to be. Started chilling at 1:20 p.m. at 170/1:45pm. Pulled bag with coconut and hops into strainer when temperature was at 75/2:00pm. Whirlpool for 13 minutes then ran off into fermenter. Pitch yeast at 2:33 p.m. . Wow, this one has a lot of break it's just thick with it. I don't think the whirlpool work very well still got way too much break material in the primary. May have to try something a little different or try filtering from boil Kettle into primary. Aroma at this point is very good can smell the coconut took a little taste and the coconut comes through nicely and I still have a pound of coconut going into the secondary, this is going to be a tasty beer. 8/27/17 Rack Day - Racked it onto 19oz toasted coconut. Got a reading of 8 brix (1.013). Had some trouble, I pulled the lid off the big mouth bubbler without pulling the air lock first and got a few drops of star-san in the beer. Hope this doesn't ruin this batch. 9/7/17 Dry hopped today with 1oz Mosaic. Will bottle on Sunday, this only gives it three days but I think it will impart good hop flavors.
