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: next time take the heat to high for the boil and drop it to medium when it hits 190.
The 8 oz whirlpool was done at flame out. The kettle was taken outside on a cool day and the hops were added and left for an hour as the temp dropped to 150.
No hops added during boil. IBU and iso-alpha acids is ?????
Should have cooled quicker after flame out. Some bitter grassiness taste. Wait for secondary fermentation to complete before dry hop. Use mesh bag on dry hop to reduce tannin.

Notes: This is the base beer for my version of Summer Shandy. When beer is finished there will be about 5 gallons. I then keg the beer adding only 2.5 gallons into 2 separate kegs. I then add 3 tsp. of Potassium Sorbet to each keg. I then wait a day before I add in the Lemonade. I like the powdered Country Time, 8qt size and 2 gallons of water to each keg. I normally force carbonate for 2 days at about 30 lbs.
This is a fantastic summer beer. |
