Notes: If you're not from USA, and the northeast at that, Otis Spunkmeyer used to be a brand of cookies found in various locations. The idea was your store would get the dough, and a little oven, and with little effort you could pump out the most amazing Chocolate Chip Cookies, all warm and gooey. This beer is a love letter to those days. Shooting for warm, biscuity, bready malt body, with notes of sweet chocolate, vanilla, and a bit of coffee/toffee/other "dessert" notes from the secret weapon, Black Treacle. Speaking of which, for the wort, DON'T actually use American or Black Strap molasses, but instead Lyle's Black Treacle, from Amazon. Crazy good stuff. Loads of flavors.

Let the primary fermentation run it's course (shoot for 14 days on the trub), and then let it sit for seven days on a slit open vanilla bean in a secondary vessel. At packaging (I'm using a corny keg), add 16 oz. of Ghirardelli chocolate syrup. Dark beers being mysterious, you'll get a bang for your buck aging and conditioning this, the longer the better. That said, that treacle works wonders, and after only one week (21 days in primary and secondary, and 7 to condition) you'll still have a surprisingly complex dark treat. Between that, the chocolate malt grain, and the lactose sugar to leave residual sweetness, you should get a nice chocolate effect to go with the malt. Hops should balance this malty, chocolatey treat for these last chilly days before summer and its sours, wheats, and IPAs...

Notes: Vanilla Beans, split and soaked in enough vodka to cover, for
2 weeks before bottling or kegging. Pour vanilla beans and
vodka through a strainer into the bottling bucket or keg.
Alternately, you can add the split vanilla beans directly to
the fermenter 4 days before bottling or kegging.

Brewer’s Notes: This recipe is from Jeremy Railey, who won first place at the
Indiana Brewer’s Cup in the Specialty category with this beer! Jeremy prefers
to zest the skin of an orange or two and freeze it overnight before brew day.
When he brews this beer, he will zest the skin of another orange directly into
the boil at 30 minutes left in the boil, then split the orange open and drop it
directly in the wort for the rest of the boil. He will put the frozen zest in at the
end of the boil. We have included sweet orange peel as an alternative to this,
but if you would like, you can try to brew it his way! He also uses Mexican
vanilla beans, as they give a smooth vanilla cream character to the beer. He
will soak the split beans in enough vodka to cover them for 2 weeks prior to
bottling or kegging, then strain the beans from the vodka extract directly into
the keg or bottling bucket. This is a delicious beer with a lot of fun variables
that can be brewed again and again

Notes: The Maris Otter is cold smoked for two hours using alder wood
(whole, not krushed)
Let the malt breathe for 1-2 days before mashing. It is best not to store the smoked malt long term.

The finished beer should be fined with gelatine and racked off the kveik sediment.

For a modern twist, add:
10g Cascade @60 min
50g Cascade @10 min
25g Cascade dry hop

Notes: I've been editing this recipe based on my first attempt from the linked source. My impression of my first attempt was that the beer was a bit too hoppy and lacked the malty assault I was expecting of a Conway's clone.

Some key deviations from my first attempt (from source):

- Grain bill now uses Maris Otter as a base and 2 lb portion of Munich. The roasted malts are largely the same.

- I like to start with distilled water and add my salts, and I've learned a good bit about water chemistry since my first attempt. This time around I picked the balanced profile to get a decent baseline. This is different from the first attempt, where I arbitrarily used 5g of gypsum and called it a day.

- Switched to Safale S-04 yeast from Wyeast 1028 (London Ale) just for fun. Have been using Wyeast for all my beers until now.

- Replaced Hollertau Mittelfruh with Styrian Goldings to pair English hops with more English hops. This is more OCD than practical.
