STEP BY STEP Mill the grains and dough in targeting a mash of around 1.3 quarts of water to 1 pound of grain (2.7 L/kg) and a mash temperature of 153 F (67 C). Hold the mash at 153 F (67 C) until the enzymatic conversion is complete. Sparge slowly with 168 F (76 C) water, collecting wort until the pre-boil kettle volume is 6.5 gallons (24.6 L). The total boil time is 90 minutes. Add hops at times indicated, and the Whirlfloc and yeast nutrient with 5 minutes left in the boil. After the boil is complete, give the wort a long stir to create a whirlpool, and let settle for 10 minutes. Chill the wort to 65 F (18 C) and aerate thoroughly. The Pitch rate is 1 million cells per mL per degree Plato. Regulate the fermentation temperature at 68 F (20 C). At the end of fermentation activity, ~5 days, let rest for 5 more days at 68 F (20 C). Then lower the temperature to 32 F (0 C). Once the beer is clarified, rack the beer into secondary. Add the pure liquid cacao and dried coconut (bag the dried coconut). Hold for 1 week at 32 F (0 C) and then rack and carbonate the beer to around 2.55 volumes of CO2. If bottling conditioning, you may consider pitching fresh yeast at bottling.
