Notes: This experiment is designed to showcase new hop varieties in a SMASH beer. All hop varieties are American and they are primarily recommended for American hoppy beers. This experiment only uses pellet hops. 11 lbs Cargill Special Pale Malt was used because it is a neutral flavored base malt with a slight biscuit flavor. WLP001 California Ale yeast was chosen because I want to keep yeast flavors low. I'm adjusting my water to reflect the Pale Ale water profile in Bru'n Water. Water will be left uncovered for 24 hours to allow chlorine to evaporate.
Initially I was going to prepare the full volume of wort without hops and dry hop each beer with a different hop, but instead, I decided to boil each 1 gallon batch separately with multiple hop additions during the boil. Performing multiple hop additions will be a valuable because we will have a representation of what flavors/aromas we can get from each hop when added at different time throughout the boil. Each 1 gallon batch will receive 1 oz of hops.
This experiment does not include a 60 min hop addition because IBU extraction is not the focus. My thought is that a 60 min addition would lose all flavors and aromas unique to the particular hop being used. This experiment is all about retaining as much flavor and aroma as possible.
All hops excluding Chinook were purchased on 2/4/17 so hopefully they are from a 2016 crop and are fresh. I'm storing the hops in my freezer until brew day. The Chinook has been vacuum sealed and stored in my freezer for about 2 years. While this experiment should be performed on fresh hops to best showcase them, it will be interesting to see if the hops have degraded much over the past two years.
Hops used:
Chinook
Medusa
El Dorado
HBC 438
HBC 366

1. Prepare 9.5 gal preboil wort
2. Boil 30 min at full volume to induce hot break and help boil DMS
3. Boil 6 seperate batches of 1.35 gal preboil wort
4. Cool in ice bath.
5. Collect 1 gallon in fermenter
6. Evenly distribute decanted yeast starter once all 6 batches have been finished. Distribute slurry by volume and shake between pouring.

Notes: if your like me and love hops just add an ounce of Cascade to your keg, let it slow carbonate for a 3 or 4 days then take it out and enjoy a great beer!
Adjust your caramel 60L and shoot for an SRM of 8. |

Notes: Roast 4.69 pounds of pumpkin. If using fresh pumpkin, cut into quarters, seed, and bake in oven at 350°F (177°C) for 45 minutes, then scoop pumpkin from skin. If using canned pumpkin, scoop onto a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes. Add the roasted pumpkin to the mash (you will have problems with mashing out). Mash the grains and pumpkin for 60 minutes at 154°F (68°C). Boil for 60 minutes, and following the schedule for hops and other additions.
After primary fermentation for a week, roast an additional 1.88 pounds of pumpkin and toss with molasses and maple syrup into a hot pan to candy. Add caramelized pumpkin to fermenter and leave in secondary for one week. |
