I know to pick a heavy one with a lot of milk inside so you don't get one that isn't ripe but how do you tell if it's too ripe?

The coconut layers start with an outer shell that is smooth and ivory or gray when ripe. Beneath that lies a brown, hairy husk of loose, coarse fibers. This husky layer covers a hard, brown woody shell, with a small triangle of three indented "eyes." Under this layer is a thin brown skin, which protects the interior kernel, where the white coconut meat and juicy liquid center reside.
The layers continue to petrify as the coconut continues to ripen.

Shake it. If you hear a sloshing noise (the milk inside) noise, its fresh. If there's no noise, or sloshing feeling. Its not fresh. EASY!

Shaking, if you hear the liquid inside, it's OK.
