Okay, sometimes you get good info on the net, sometimes not. I read a few threads in this forum on using roasted unsweetened coconut in beer for a coconut flavor addition.
Well, I tried it. I toasted 1 lb. of coconut and put it in my secondary for 2 weeks for my "Lemon coconut cream-ale". Just cracked open my first bottle. I can taste the lemon....but absolutely NO coconut flavor at all!! @#$&
So, I'm back to looking at liquid extracts for coconut flavor. They are MUCH cheaper than the coconut anyway.
