Part of the joy of cask conditioned ale is the experimental aspect.
I changed up the Mariner Nut Brown ale a bit, and have replaced it with what I'm calling the Brighton Brown. This is a Southern English Brown Ale. It differs from the Mariner in that it is sweeter and maltier.
I also decided to make up a cask of the Brighton and I got a little crazy.
I went to Pick 'n Save and bought three coconuts. I got about one cup of coconut milk from them which I boiled for a few minutes to sterilize it. Then I shredded the coconut meat and toasted it in the oven. I then put all the coconut into a firkin along with the milk, to which I added some priming sugar. Finally, I filled the firkin with Brighton Brown Ale.
It is presently third in line for tapping. Currently we have the "Primus Pilus" IPA (an extra-hopped version of the Dark Lord IPA) and the yet-to-be-cleverly?-named Raspberry Weisse on deck.
