Cuckoo For Coconut Brew Session

Brew Session Info

12/29/2017
(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

12/27/17 - Did yeast starter with wort from the end of the mash of batch 53 and yeast harvested from batch 49 (WLP575). 12/29/17 - Good brew day, all went smooth. I used hop bags this time for the hops and coconut. I got a tight mesh nylon bag for the hops and it held back most of the hop material. Had a lot less break in the brew kettle at the end. I will use this from now on. This is the first time I use oxygen and fermentation seems to have started much faster. Pitched yeast at 2:20PM and it was bubbling by 4:30pm. 1/21/18 Racked onto 20oz flaked coconut with 8oz of it toasted. Got a Brix reading of 7.9 (1.009°). 2/11/18 Bottling day, I now get a brix of 7.8 (1.008°). Bottled 12@12oz and put the rest, about 4 gallons in a keg. I should have dry hopped this with an oz of Mosaic but I forgot to. 2/17/18 Not going to dry hop this one next time, this came out better without it.

You wanted an OG of 1.069. It looks like it will be under.
