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. |

Based on article read in magazine.
After flameout, chill the wort down to 65 °F (18 °C) and pitch the yeast. You can then place in a warm space to allow fermentation temperature to start to rise to 72 °F (22 °C). Hold at this temperature during active fermentation. When active fermentation begins to settle down (kräusen begins to fall), increase the fermentation to 78 °F (26 °C) to be sure the yeast fements to completion. |

NB It's called 'Um Bongo' after the carton fruit juice drink sold in the UK during the 1980s |

Planning to add a yet-to-be-determined quantity of macerated rhubarb to secondary vessel once primary is complete.
8/15/15: It's official, we're bad at wheat beers. To elaborate, we just can't seem to reach our OG or get even a little bit close any time we use more than 30 or 40% wheat in the grist. We'll spare the gory details, but we're gonna want to make a note to dial down efficiency to between 50-65% depending on the percentage and what we're going for. We added some DME to compensate, obviously.
8/29/15: The blowoff assembly on this one stopped bubbling a few days ago. Combined with the krausen fading for the most part, we figured this would end up being just about done. As suspected, it finished at exactly 1.012, and it looks, smells and tastes absolutely awesome from the small hydrometer sample we thieved. This is good because, as one might recall, we sucked really badly at actually brewing this due to poor conversion of wheat using our HERMS system (we got like 45-50% efficiency). We'll eventually figure this out, but we had to toss some DME in to hit target gravity. Anyway, upon tasting this guy, we noticed that the Nelson aroma hopping actually comes through, lending a nice musty white grape funk to the proceedings along with some bright berry notes. We'll probably be adding rhubarb soon, but this one can sit in primary for a little while until we figure out exactly what we're doing. No point racking it to secondary without also adding the rhubarb, really. |

OG: 1.049, may be slightly higher as the test was quite warm.
Wort tastes very neutral. No sign of orange or coriander, but it's probably too sweet to notice.
10 days: 1.006(wtf?), Horrific burned rubber flavor/scent. Absolutely undrinkable. Racked to a secondary. |
