Notes: [Original notes translated into English fro original recipe]
The amount of mash and rinse water you should use depends on the equipment and the method you are brewing with. As an estimate, we can say that you can use 16 l of mash water and 13.5 l of rinsing water for this beer. Some brewing machines (e.g. Speidel Braumeister) may require larger amounts of mash water. Always check the manual of the equipment you use.
In this beer, a more advanced mash scheme might be worth trying:
55 C (131F) for 15 min (protein step)
63 C (145F) for 45 min (beta-amylase step)
72 C (162F) for 15 min (alpha-amylase step)
77 C (170F) for 5 min (knead)
OR:
Mashing at 66 C (151F) for 75 min. Mash at 77 C (170F) for 5 minutes if you have the opportunity to increase the temperature in the mash.
Cool down to 9 C (48F) before pitching the yeast.
Fermentation at 10 degrees until 2/3 of FG is reached (typically after 10-14 days). Then increase gradually (approx. 1 degree per day) to 17 degrees. Keep at 18 degrees for 2-3 days. Then lower to 10 degrees or lower before bottling (20-28 days in total).
Yeast alternatives: WLP830, WLP838, Saflager 34/70
###########
Modified original recipe with details from another and changed mash to a step schedule with three decoction steps. The decoction steps are to be conducted sort of in parallel with the mash step before it.
Using long, insulated gloves (https://a.co/d/795ZKxH), I dipped a quart pyrex measuring glass into the mash tun and removed four scoops of drained mashed grain. You still want some liquid but it should be a thick mash. I roughly measured 3 gallons of milled grain in my grain bucket at dough-in so that is why 4 quarts to be decocted (1 gallon which is roughly 1/3 of grain)
I put this in a 5.5 quart pot sitting on an induction hot plate set up beside my mash tun. It would take about 10 minutes to get to boil. So generally, I would get mash tun to temperature for a step, wait about 5-10 min. and then scooped out grain to be boiled. Once boiled for 20 min. the mash step time would have expired and I would put the grain back. The extra heat of boiling would help raise to the next step although it usually took a little more heat. Once at the next step temperature, wait 5-10 minutes and repeat. Ultimately, this added 1-2 hours to my typical brew day time.
The triple decoction did raise SRM so I did not use the Carafa Special III that was in the original recipe. Brewer's Friend is calculating SRM from the grain bill but with decoction, I estimate it to be around 18 at the end of the boil.

Notes: recipe calls for 6.5 lb DME and .75 lbs dextrose to get OG of 1.072, go down to FG of 1.011 for 8.2%abv. Called for 8 gallon bol to get 6 gallons in fermenter to get 5 gallons after hop loss bottled.
Steep grains at 165F for 30 mins in 1 gallon water, remove and rinse with hot water. Bring up to full boil volume and stir in dextrose then bring to boil.
Pitch 2 packs of yeast. Ferment at 67F, once activity slows, add first round of dry hops then after 7-9 more days, do second round. leave 5 more days then bottle. |

Notes: 2017:
Mash temp was 154º.
Boil was 90 minutes.
Spread one can of 100% pumpkin onto a pan lined with tin foil and baked for an hour at 350º.
Added 3 teaspoons of McCormick's pumpkin spice and half the baked pumpkin to the boil at knockout. Forgot to add the half pound of brown sugar. Cooled wort to 10º above pitching temp, and racked to primary. Left for a few hours, and pitched yeast when I got home.
Yeast used was Lallemand London ESB dry yeast.
Fermentation in the closet between 75-73º.
Fermentation began within a few hours of pitching yeast. 12 hours into pitching, fermentation was so strong I couldn't keep a stopper and blowoff tube on the fermenter.
By 48 hours, it appears that all fermentation has stopped, which is normal for this brand of yeast. It's best to add sugar to the kettle with this strain, which I forgot to do, so I'm hoping that it comes out okay.
Taste:
It tastes great! I'd like to tweak the recipe for 2018. Here's the feedback I've gotten so far: One friend said that it's the first pumpkin ale he's had where he can actually taste the pumpkin. It's a bit on the vegetabley side. Another friend said it's got a slight bit of a cider thing going on. My opinion is that it needs less pumpkin, and more body. Need to change the malt bill a little bit. Also I should consider sweetening it with a small amount of sugar in the keg before cold crashing.
Overall I'm happy with it. Friends enjoyed it and were coming back for seconds. I'm definitely in the ballpark with this one, but I'd like to continue to tweak the recipe.
Note: Add flaked oats next time. It needs more body
******************2018********************
By far the best Pumpkilla! yet. Nearly exactly what I wanted it to be. perfectly balanced, a good amount of sweetness, and a delicious taste with just the right amount of spices. The color was exactly what I think a pumpkin beer should look like.
This year, I changed the grain bill, the spices, and the pumpkin. The grain bill is as above. For the spices used 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice that I got from a spice store in Sarasota while I was on vacation. Spice was added at knockout. Their website is: www.spiceandtea.com. In the interest of time, I thought this to be a good compromise between using McCormick's and making your own, and it worked out very well.
Instead of using canned pumpkin, this year I took a butternut squash and peeled it, cubed it, and drizzled it in molasses before baking it in the oven for an hour at 350º. I then added it to the mash.
The only things that can be improved with this recipe is to possibly add a touch more bittering hops, as it it slightly cloying (it is a pumpkin ale after all), and a touch of vanilla. Use beans, not extract. This was a very, very good beer. |
