I say give them a go and let us know how they turn out. p.s. the apple skins are going to town. Will be pitching the yeast this weekend I bet.

Absolutely, sir. I just do not have access to some fresh unpasteurized juice so I am trying this more round-a-bout method.

I had heard the same thing but I ended up trying it anyway ;) I used coconut in the mash and put in primary and got a very nice coconut flavor so I don't really agree with the general consensus. That being said, I would never add loose coconut to primary again due to all the oils it put...
