this beer came out really good! its pretty much perfect as it is! i cant tell how much the rye contributed. its a smooth slightly sweet, balanced roast but low bitterness brew, love it. i think the faint sweetness flavor i normally dont get from dark beers can be coming from the maris otter.

for next time, i wonder how good this beer if bumped up to 8 or 9% whch was the target. came out to like 6 or 7.
========================

notes a little hand wavy on this one. first off I got my waters mixed up on brew day so this beer actually got the water destined for west coast ipa (half RO plus added salts to match light and hoppy profile) so we shall see how the beer handles that.

also on brew day I had a bit extra malt from the planned double pumpkin so i put in a couple more lbs from the bag but did not take note how much. i think it mightve been 2 lb that replaced the pilsner malt i was planning to use. i basically did this beer full BIAB style with almost the entire 10 gallon water bill in the mash. horrible efficiency. (by contrast, the ipa i did on my igloo got 68% efficiency. id wanted to do this porter on igloo but messed up)

the malt from this beer i got from the brew store months ago, it was mostly packaged up and in the bins but possibly it wasnt as fresh? idk, shouldve been about the same, my base malt is older.

used two packs safale s04. calculator says thats good.

brew day OG was 1075. which I originally though was good but now looking at it its quite disappointing. was aiming for 8 or 9% black porter. the color on the wort is more brown.

========================

bout to brew this. this is kind of pieced together from ingredients for another beer that i didnt do. there are two pumpkin milkshake bags, each should have 11lb maris otter, 1 lb honey malt, 3 lb wheat malt, 1 lb crystal 40, 4oz acid malt. also have a bag of 1 lb flaked rye. then i have another bag containing 1 lb rye malt, 12oz chocolate malt and 4oz carafa iii. all i need to add finally is 2 lb pilsner malt.

english yeast? or lutra?

========================
10/1/2022
i have base grain bill for 10 gallons of pumpkin beer. idea here would be to split half of it into a separate mash, omitting the oats and adding some dark grains and two row to boost gravity. leave out th epumpkin and pumpkin spice and vanilla, add rye malt.

========================
9/10/2022
bumping up the grain bill to get to 7%. changing to safale with higher expected efficiency. acid malt to proper mash ph. possibly will brew 10 gallons

========================
10/21/2021
measured FG of 1028. adjusting recipe attenuation from 71% to 65 so the recipe FG matches actual. came out to 4.8% abv but still tastes just as good, doesnt taste light in flavor or body at all.

still not sure why efficiency is so low on this beer (it was last year too). if you disregard the oats and pumpkin from the calculation it the efficiency is still low, under 60%. I would like to brew this to 8% some year but not sure what it would take for this beer (i.e. just a lot more base malt? how much? or go the DME route?)

This was the last beer I brewed on my old cooler mash tun and digiboil system. I've started using grainfather which so far has better and more consistent efficiency so it would be interesting to brew this same recipe on GF to see how much better it does.
========================
9/13/2021
updating for 2021. not sure what happened in terms of efficiency last year but this year i will be intentionally brewing it to 5% range for wifey. As alluded to below, I suspect the eff issue is oats and pumpkin not really contributing as much as this calculator thinks. I think I will just rebrew this thing exactly with no adjustments this year, see if i get the bad eff again.
========================
10/29/2020
calling it and kegging today. 10days. FG 1024
========================
10/26/2020
brewed this on 10/20/2020. need to update recipe from notebook but i believe it only came out at 1065. i think the flaked oats, wheat, and pumpkin dont contribute as many points as this calculator says it does....we will see.
========================
10/03/2020
reviewing notes and recipe from last year, going to combine kind of what i was trying to do and what i actually did. removing 1lb 2row and adding that to the maris otter. going to keep the 1lb honey malt, 1 lb lactose, 1lb wheat malt, 1 lb flaked oats, 1lb flaked wheat, 1lb 40L

========================
9/30/2019 brew day
there was snafu with ingredients. i had the homebrew shop pick my order last week. one bag was supposed to have 2lb oat malt and 2lb wheat malt. as far as i can tell it was just 4lb of flaked oats. so i just used 2lb of that flaked oat, then i had a bag of 1lb wheat malt and 40L (wouldve preferred not to use the 40L but it was mixed) so i added that and another lb of 2row.

Also for simplicity i scratched the existing spice bill and just did 2.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice. (using charlie papazian pumpkin recipe as reference for the approximate spice amount)

changing from pilsner to maris otter
========================
9/16/2019
Based on the award winning mango maya recipe. Considering coconut!? Bumped it down from 8 to 4oz. taking the hop schedule and pumpkin and spice amounts from 2017's pumpkin single 2. (pumpkin single 1 used brown sugar which is counterproductive in this milkshake beer) changed 2row back to pilsner. color estimator looks pretty orange but considering adding some crystal malt? biscuit malt has highest lovibond from original recipe....

Notes: Brewed January 27, 2023 - Mashed at 152°F for one hour. Initial runnings at 12° Brix (1.048). Collected 5.75 gal before hitting 4° Brix. Collected wort landed at 11° Brix (1.044) Added 1.5 gal water to bring initial boil volume of 7.25 gal to SG of 1.035... confirmed Brix landed at 8.8. Boiled for 45 minutes adding hop charge at 40 minutes. Cooled into high 60°s and collected 6 gal of wort at 10° Brix (1.040). Ferment room temp 58°-60°F

Kegged Feb 10th - 1.016. Corrected yeast efficiency to reflect actual FG.

Questions - low yeast efficiency due to under pitch? Or should I beta rest in 140's for a bit to thin body?

adjusting this recipe to sort of document what i did. according these calculations this hazy pale ale will come out with really low IBU potentially too sweet and probably too grassy vegetal hoppy since all the hops were mostly on the noble subtle end besides the crystal and maybe nugget. we shall see.

=============================
5/14/22
brew day was a disaster. everything barely fit in the mash tun so that part was ok. i added the flaked stuff first which was bonehead so it was caked up during sparge

i collected more than 12 gallons lets call it 13 for pre boil gravity of 1045. after boiling for 90 minutes it was only 1050. i didnt have the time to boil it down all day so i tossed half the wort, added a bunch of random hops (julius, saaz, crystal, nugget) to the whirlpool for about 20 minutes then knocked out with half the voss starter.

idk why i thought i could get 10 gallons of high gravity wort out of this especially considering ive always had bad efficiency with flaked adjuncts
=============================
5/10/22

altering recipe to say cascade instead of 09326 since brewersfriend keeps removing it everytime i open this to edit. but still using the 09326.

worked out the water profile based on brusho. seems like a lot of salts compared to what i normally use. calculator still complains about hco3 but everything else is on point, pH is good. im reading the cl and so4 and ph is what matters the most.

with sparge, may be using over 15 gal water. need to figure out how to treat it all since GF only fits 12 gal. maybe split the water and treat two 7.5 gal portions, then top up the GF? hard to split 4.5g in half tho.

=============================
5/9/22
research todo :
reading chloride to sulfate should be 2:1for neipa. this recipe atm is 1:3!

also consider doing a 30 min boil? since we have no bittering hops it might be enough time for the malt and also we dont want to boil off too much volume...

youtube neipa from brusho suggests following profile
ca 136
mg 12
na 40
cl 202
so4 101
hco3 104

scaled up to 11 gallons for a split batch?? might be pushing it in terms of mash tun size, double batch and high gravity eek. but lets try. mash will be thick af. GF is only 12 gallons so 2 gallons will boil off in an hour, left with exactly 10 gallons before we start accounting for hop loss. each split batch could end up being only 4 gallons. oh well.

plan
* genus brewing suggested up to 40% adjunct - adding some flaked wheat...currently sitting at 12.5% but also using fair amount of wheat malt hopefully that does it
* long mash at 148
* sparge to max 12 gal
* boil for 60 min down to 10 gal
* (gonna have some hop loss)
* transfer half the wort to digiboil, set to 190
* bag 8 oz of whirlpool hops in each batch for 20 min at 190
* knockout

added water profile from tap water. my tap has too much Na salt for this profile but that is the only thing that is off. hopefully it still balances.

=============================
5/2/22

Running my standard hazy ipa recipe with a new hop. This time will be taking down the oats a bit and relying on malt for OG points. Cant decide between hothead voss or london. I think Tony from FG said they use voss for everything...

Notes about 09326 hop :
This experimental varietal from Hopsteiner has a strong genetic link to Cascade. 09326 is recommended primarily for aroma additions for pungent notes of berry jam, tropical fruit, grapefruit and a subtle herbalness. Best suited for IPAs and Pale Ales, and Blonde Ales.

Hop Statistics
Alpha Acids: 4.0 – 7.0%
Beta Acids: 4.5 – 7.0%
Alpha-Beta Ratio: 0.5 – 1.5
Cohumulone: (% of alpha acids): 29 – 32%
Total Oils in mls per 100 grams dried: 2.0 – 2.6
