Notes: - Get White Labs WLP002 English Ale yeast if available.
- Mill grain twice. Use fine-mesh grain bag to minimize pumpkin getting into the wort.
PREP PUMPKIN
- Use pie pumpkin and/or butternut squash (if brown ale) about 10 pounds in total weight (to yield 3-5 lb net per 5-gallon batch).
- Halve the pumpkin, remove pulp and seeds, and cut the halves into pieces about 6 inches long. Arrange the pieces on a foil-lined cookie sheet, and sprinkle them liberally with brown sugar. Roast in the oven at 375°F until soft (approx 1.5-2.5hrs). During roasting, the brown sugar will melt and caramelize onto the pumpkin, providing extra flavor. Remove from oven and let cool. Peel off the skin, dice into large cubes (being sure to save the juice for its color and flavor), mash to a pulp, and store in a covered bowl in the fridge. On brew day, let the pumpkin warm to room temperature.
MASHING
- Don't leave heat on after meeting mash-in temp (163)
- Take about 1/2 gallon of the hot mash water before adding grain, add it to the pumpkin and stir to break up big clumps, yielding a slurry.
- Add all grains and stir, then add warm pumpkin slurry to the mash.
- Test pH after 10min...see Water Chemistry section.
- Mash-in will likely drop temp by 6degrees
- Mashing will likely drop temp by 10 degrees per 60min
- Range goal is 156 - 141 during the 90min mash
BOILING
- After sparging and while boil kettle heats up, move mash bag to over spare kettle, squeezing & letting drain. Add additional wort to boil kettle.
- Ferment in basement to keep room temp around 70degrees. |

Notes: Brew Day 5/18/24
New process day!
Used the recirculation pump for the first time today.
Mashed in at 154 and brought the temp to 152.
Let everything settle 15-20 minutes then turned the pump on. Took a few minutes to get going, but once the flow started it was all good. Medium flow over the dispersion plate.
Checked the temp coming from the out flow and it was consistent with the foundry controller. Mashed 75 minutes at 152-154.
As a test, I did not do any stirring or lifting this time around. I want to see what effect the pump and recirculation alone has on my OG as I've been struggling with that over the past few months.
On to the boil. Brought it up to boiling, set power to 83%. Put the lid on for 10-15 minute increments to prop up the boil and really get it rolling.
Followed hop schedule.
Whirlpool/hopstand
dropped hops immediately around 205 and started to chill. Got to 170 and shut off chilling. continued to drop to the 150s. Going to extend the WP/HS for a few extra minutes.
After that, chilled the rest of the way to like 90 degrees. transferred and let it ride.
Measured OG: 1.058 - 1.059. (58% brewhouse efficiency)
Dry hop 5/24, will let this go 3-4 days.
Measured FG 1.010 @74ish degrees, so corrected FG is probably 1.011-1.012.
