Notes: Spargeless. Had a few stuck mashes at start of recirculation - not sure what was the cause. Mixed everything up after a good stir and gravity immediately started rising rapidly. Used gloves and plate to push all remaining wort out of mash tun after mashout. Will likely sparge for next batch.

It’s issue 100! Cue the confetti and the noisemakers. I guess we should make a celebratory homebrew. Looking back, it’s apparent I’ve been wrong about the full title of my column all these years. I thought BYOB meant “Brewing Yummy Odd Beer” not “Brew Your Own Beer.” Awkward… but either way, the brew must go on! This month, let’s take a page from one of my brewing mentors and brew a chocolate cake beer.
Cake is a mixture of wheat flour, sugar, flavorings, eggs and butter. The last two ingredients contain copious fats that make it a complicated beer additive. Yet to brew a true chocolate cake beer, one must have chocolate cake.
Order a full sheet cake from a baker. Ask for no frosting or remove it. (No judgment if you eat it.) Add the cake, crumbled, to 1–2 quarts of boiling water. Stir and boil until the cake is completely dissolved. Simmer gently for 15 minutes. Cover and cool the cake slurry overnight in the fridge. Scrape off the fat cap.
Add the defatted cake slurry to your Stout mash and proceed as normal. I learned this from fellow Falcon M.B. Raines, who did it to celebrate the birthday of Doug King with his leftover cake and has used it to great effect several times since. Here’s to a few hundred more Yummy Odd Beers. |

Notes: Smooth, rich, velvety, not too roasty, not too dry! Coffee roast notes without a burnt flavor. GREAT beer.
Wyeast 1335 is an option, but the 1450 gives a luscious mouthfeel.
Finishes at 1.016-1.020, depending on yeast strain.
For dry yeast S04 would work, but keep it on the low temperature range, 62-65 if possible.
For Imperial, use A10.

Notes: 1) 4 gals Hinkley springs into mash and boil - heat to 169F
2) Add salts and mash in - PH 5.3
3) 75 minute mash, no stir then reciruclate/lauter at finish - about 2 gallons (1 gallon prior to raising mash tube)
Efficiency at 75% as expected - had to stir and take 3 readings and got variances around 1.070 - 1.073. Measured in hot wort trusting ATC
4) Begin sparge with 4 gallons of room temp pouring 1 gallon about every 15 mins slowly allowing it to rinse grain - ended up about 6.25 gallons
5) Boil and Hop following recipe, cool then whirlpool. Recirc wort through hop screen during WP hops - clogged a bit due to trub so watch next time
OG 1.077 - need to boil longer next time as 1.081 was target
6) Transfer to Fermenter and shake vigorously - ended up just less than 5 gallons in Fermenter (~4.75g)
7) Cool steady at 67F and pitch decanted starter from fridge, still cold
8) Fermentation started by morning so ~12 hours. 24 hours in and blow-off bubbling hard
9) After 7 days I pitched dry-hop and pumped in co2 through my blow-off rig (has a co2 quick disconnect on a T-valve that can seal from my SS brew bucket)
Measured some FGs and got 1.020 - hit target
10) After 2 days on DH I dropped the temp to cold crash at ~38F and let crash for 3-4 days adding in co2 to keep positive pressure and ensure no oxygen
11) Kegged by pumping out a keg filled with sani into another keg and then closed transferred into the keg
12) Slow and steady carbed at 2.4 vols @ ~38F in kegerator
