Put all of that in a mesh sack and had to try and fit it into the keg. I didn't take into account the amount of space all of that would displace so i had about 1/2 gallon of beer left in the fermenter after racking.
This is why I keep buckets around...
LAHomebrew did this their coconut stout for Brew at the Zoo and end up having to clean the pop-its and faucets at least twice on site during the event. I think they were using a nitro tap so maybe that was the problem...

I didn't have any clean bottles or i just would have bottled that up, so sadly, i poured the remainder down the drain. I probably should have just poured that into a growler until i cleaned some bottles out, but i was trying to cook etouffee' at the same time.

Hmmm... i hope i don't have that problem. I spoke with Chico and he was telling me they weighted down the grain bag full of coconut. I didn't, so the bag is floating up. Hopefully the grain bag contains everything, and i believe any small particles should float to the top, away from the beer out tube.
Also, the poppets on the posts on this keg do not come out. I was messing around with it for about 10 minutes last week trying to pop those bastards out, but they are really in there.

The other night I made some fresh starter to add to my bug cultures, and couldn't bring myself to pour off the beer that was in the jugs so I could top it off, so I ended up drinking it instead. For a pure wheat DME starter with no hops and a wide variety of dregs, it's not bad
I will say this about it though, I wish I had never added Jolly Pumpkin dregs to it. One of them that I drank had this weird plastic/rubbery smell and taste that seems to have carried over into the new culture. I might end up dumping it and starting over again.
