Notes: This classic Irish red pours a dark red/copper color and features a sweet caramel and toasted malt profile.
Step by step
This is a single step infusion mash. Mix the crushed grains with 3.7 gallons (14 L) of 170 °F (77 °C) water to stabilize at 150 ºF (66 °C) for 60 minutes. Sparge slowly with 175 °F (79 °C) water. Collect approximately 6 gallons (23 L) of wort runoff to boil for 60 minutes. While boiling, add the hops, Irish moss and yeast nutrient. After the boil is complete, add the wort to 2 gallons (7.6 L) of cold water in the sanitized fermenter and top off with cold water up to 5 gallons (19 L).
Cool the wort to 75 °F (24 °C). Pitch your yeast and aerate the wort heavily. Allow the beer to cool to 68 °F (20 °C). Hold at that temperature until fermentation is complete. Transfer to a carboy. Allow the beer to condition one week and then bottle or keg. Allow the beer to carbonate and age for two weeks and enjoy!
Extract with grains version:
Reduce the 2-row pale malt from the all-grain version to 1 lb. (0.45 kg) and add 3.3 lbs. (1.5 kg) Briess light liquid malt extract and 2 lbs. (0.9 kg) light dried malt extract. Steep the crushed grain in 2 gallons (7.6 L) of water at 150 °F (66 °C) for 30 minutes. Remove grains from the wort and rinse with 2 quarts (1.8 L) of hot water. Add the liquid and dried malt extracts and boil for 60 minutes. While boiling, add the hops, Irish moss and yeast nutrient. After the boil is complete, add the wort to 2 gallons (7.6 L) of cold water in the sanitized fermenter and top off with cold water up to 5 gallons (19 L). Follow the remaining portion of the all-grain recipe.

Notes: Used 280oz (14 imperial pints) of water for steeping. Lost a bit of crystal so down to 1 lb and 7 oz vs target if 1.5 lbs. steeped for 20 minutes but went a bit high at 175 degrees so turned off heat for last 10 minutes. Added 2 oz cascade to the boil to hit IBU target. My hops were lower alpha than target Added almost 5 lbs LME to the boil by mistake which meant that my wort concentration was a bit high. This will lower the alpha isometrization and slightly reduce bitterness.
After 2 weeks in barrel first sample was tasty but not quite like Manny’s. More like a hoppy ESB. Malt was a little strong so maybe use crystal 40. Hops were good. Strong yeast presence and lots of carbonation.
After 4 weeks there was still really good carbonation. Color was mid-brown, and while easily drunk it's not like any recognizable style - maybe part ESB, part pale ale, part something yeasty! |

Notes: Beer came out awesome! There are a few changes I'd make though.
First, the melanoidin character is just a tad strong for my personal preference. It seems to be a bit too dried-fruity and verging on chemically, something that CaraMunich and Dark Munich malts contribute in large amounts (-The chemical flavor faded, it was from CaraMunich and was similar to a dry-erase marker aroma-). I'd rather have a fuller, bready and toasty, almost nutty character.
Another thing is that the hoppy bitterness is just slightly too high. This hoppiness, paired with the clean, dry finish lends a bit of a light crispness to the overall beer. This isn't really out of style, but for my personal preference, it's a bit much.
Honestly though, these are super-nitpicks. This beer is fantastic! I really like the interplay between the floral, spicy, herbal hops and the rich caramel and fruitiness of the malts. This is an excellent beer, and something that I can drink anytime. The carbonation is also spot on.
In competition, the highish melanoidin and hoppiness will probably give this beer an edge against other heavier, more cloying examples; especially with the dry, palate cleansing finish. |

For five gallons:

8 oz Munich malt
HOPS
1 oz Fuggles (4.0% AA) @ 60 minutes
OTHER STUFF
3# pie pumpkin
4 oz molasses (preferably blackstrap)
4 oz maple syrup (preferably Grade B)
1-3 teaspoons spice mix
Your favorite clean-fermenting yeast (I use US-05 or 1056 these days, but have had good results with WLP002 and WLP007 too).

I prepare my pumpkin for the boil by cubing it (again, roughly in one inch sections) and baking it until it is well browned. Usually this takes about an hour at 375° F, tossing the pan every fifteen minutes or so for even caramelization. After it's browned, I toss it with a mix of brown sugar, a little bit of water, and some spices, and put it back into the oven for about ten minutes. It's almost like you're making caramel corn. After that, I toss the pumpkin into the kettle at the start of the boil and let it go for the full hour. Some people insist this is a bad idea because it will give you cloudy beer -- and you should only use pumpkin in the mash to get the starches converted -- but I've never found this to be true.
The spices. This is incredibly important. Most of the changes I made while I was still developing my recipe involved getting the balance of spices right, both in the actual spice blend and in how much to add to the beer. I like a spicy pumpkin ale; I add a tablespoon of my spice mix at burnout. This is more than most people use, and if you've never brewed a pumpkin ale before you want to start with less. You can always brew a spice tea and add it when you bottle or keg if you find you want more spice character.
Secondary. People do it all the time with fruits, but they never think to add pumpkin in secondary. I've only heard of a handful of other people doing this, but if you really want to see the benefits of using real pumpkin instead of just pumpkin pie spices, you need to do this. Two to three pounds of finely cubed (~0.5") pumpkin, caramelized as before in the oven, then candied with some molasses and maple syrup in a pan on the stove. Leave it for about a week, then straight to the bottle or keg.
Edit: One more thing. Keep your IBUs down. I've seen pumpkin ale recipes stretching into the 30-40 IBUs range, which is way too high in my experience. My recipe sits at 13 IBUs, and I've found that when you go much over 15 or so the hops start to clash with the spices.
Mash at 156° F for one hour, sparge per your setup to collect ~6.5 gallons wort. During your mash your pumpkin should be in the oven roasting, as I talk about in the fourth section of this comment. When I say to toss your cubed pumpkin in brown sugar and spices, I mean about two tablespoons of brown sugar and a very small dash of your spice blend. This is an entirely optional step which probably doesn't make a huge difference; I do it mostly out of habit and tradition. Plus, it smells great.
The rest pretty much takes care of itself, right? Toss your hops, boil for an hour, and kill it. I toss my spices in at flameout. Some people prefer to toss their spices at ~5 minutes to get rid of any 'raw' flavor to the spices, but I find the residual heat between flameout and pitching takes care of that. My spice blend is a mix of one tablespoon of cinnamon, one third tablespoon each of ginger and nutmeg, and a quarter teaspoon of cloves. Use whatever you like. I use a full tablespoon in my beer, but I recommend starting with significantly less if you don't already know how spicy you like your pumpkin ale. If you need to you can adjust the spice character when you bottle by brewing a spice tea and adding it to taste.
The weird part. As I talk about in the sixth section of this comment, I secondary my pumpkin ale for one week with a fair amount (I do 2.5 pounds) of roasted, caramelized pumpkin. I feel this is the step that really puts the 'true' pumpkin flavor into my beer; along with discovering biscuit malt in 1995, I credit it as turning a good pumpkin ale into a great one. This is also where you use the molasses and maple syrup mentioned in the ingredients; toss them into a hot pan with your roasted pumpkin to candy. You can skip the secondary (or split off a gallon or two to try it on a smaller scale) if you find it unconvincing.
