Notes: Concept
===
What happens if you make a beer where you use pumkin as a fermentable and use as much of it as possible? The plan is to try to isolate the pumpkin flavor specifically. It will be roasted for 1 hour at 375F, but I will forego sprinkling with brown sugar. I want only the pumpkin sugars to be contributing to the mash. Then, I'll have to blend the pumpkin so that as much of the sugar as possible is accessible to the enzymes.

PPG of Pumpkin
===
I'm using the wild ass guess of 8 as a starting point from this post:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/pumpkin-specific-gravity.196466/

The big question on this is will it finish fermenting? If I use the minimum recommended diastic power of the mash, can I get the full conversion? Will it just take longer? I've lengthened the mash to 120 minutes to see if it affects the conversion of whatever starches may be present in the pumpkin.

Furthermore, if you max out the pumpkin contribution as a fermentable, what on earth will it taste like? Pumpkin juice from Harry Potter? Will it just end up reading as a surprisingly normal beer?

Note on quantity of pumpkin to buy
===
2 sugar pie pumpkins reduced down to 19oz of roasted pumpkin when I did burninating the pumpkinside. This requires 56 oz of roasted pumpkin. That adds up to roughly 6 pumpkins, I believe.

EDIT:
They didn't have any more sugar pie pumpkins because it's the day after thanksgiving. So I am switching to acorn squash. Though Kate suggested that Butternut might have been a better choice.

EDIT2:
I screwed up roasting the acorn squash. I left them in the oven when we left for a party. Hours later we came home and the whole house smelled pungently of squash. I discovered I had never taken them out and the oven was still on. I composted the desiccated husks, and felt suitably shitty about myself about the whole thing.

It seems like roasting will cook it down and reduce the volume by about half. So for 3.5 lbs of roasted squash, I'll need 7~ lbs of raw squash.

Notes: looking for a base for a bourbon beer. kinda want a little bready profile for the whiskey to knock around, hence the victory.

2/19
For my personal taste I have too much caramel in this. The hops pull it through quite nice but the victory should be bumped up a bit. It's kinda like a newcastle but not as nutty/bready. I'm thinking upping the victory and replacing 120 with 80 or 60.

20 hrs at 30 psi does the trick for carbonation. Not a cask ale but nota lager either. accd to my calcs it should be around 2.0 vol.

Notes: After primary rack off yeast to improve hop aroma. Stagger dry hop additions a day apart over 7 days to build complexity.
45 g Simcoe 11
65g Amarillo 8
65g Citra 12.7
30g Mosaic 11.3
FG is high so bittering higher than normal to balance.
Mash lower end to help attenuation andlower FG

Notes: This is my last Brewschool beer so I want some at home as well as for the course.
I shall split the brew into two fermenters:

X 20lts in FV 1
Safale US05 Yeast
60g Centennial - Dry Hopped
60g Mosaic dry hopped - Dry Hopped

X 15lts in FV 2
No dry hopping
Nottingham Ale Yeast

FV 1 will stay at home to be dry hopped for a week or so and FV 2 will go to the course, hopefully bright and hoppy ready for the students to bottle some to take home!
