Notes: Aiming for a tart, funky, dark Saison - a mix of a dark Saison and an Oud Bruin. Mash high for more long-chain sugars for the bugs to chew on over time. Any type hops for bitterness only, about 10ish IBU (don’t want hops to inhibit pH drop too much, or bitterness to clash with tartness).

Cut dried figs in half, boil in wort (enough to cover - about 2 cups) for 15 min, deglaze if needed, and then blend with stick blender. Add in last 5-10 minutes of the boil.

Due to equipment limitations, I’m doing a partial boil and then adding RO water to get up to full volume into fermentor; do full volume boil if possible. I start with 5.56 gallons, using BIAB no sparge. Lose 0.66 gal to grain absorption, so 4.9 gal preboil. Lose 1 gal during 60 min boil, so 3.9 gal postboil. Lose 0.6 gal to kettle dead space, so 3.3 gal into fermentor. Top up with 2 gal RO water, so 5.3 gal total in fermentor. Lose about 0.3 gal to trub, so want as close to 5.0 gallons to rack into secondary fermentor (5 gal BB carboy for me), to reduce headspace and therefore O2 exposure over the long secondary.

Initially ferment with the sacc (a mix of Belgian and French saison yeasts) in primary, then rack to secondary and add house sour culture and/or bottle dregs (with lacto, Brett, and pedio - I listed WLP655 as an example, if you don’t have your own sour culture. Also add some Goodbelly - L. Plantaram - to sour), along with oak cubes (boil first to sanitize and reduce strongest flavors - only want as background note - then soak in red wine, port, dark rum, etc). Let sit for 3-12 months before tasting, and package when you like the flavor. I plan to bottle half as is, and rack the other half into a 3 gallon fermentor on top of raspberries and/or blackberries, and cacao nibs.

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.

Notes: Start fermantation at 66 deg F but as fermantation begins to slow raise them one deg F per day to 70 deg F. When finished cold crash and lager three to four weeks. Then cellar for at least three months.

Optional yeast: WLP011 European Ale

Notes: Note: This recipe is for a 6 gallon batch, with 5 gallons intended to remain after hop loss.
To make this Pliny the Elder clone, mash grains at 151-152°F (66-67°C) for an hour or until starch conversion is complete. Mash out at 170°F (77°C) and sparge. Collect 8 gallons (30 L) of runoff, stir in dextrose and bring to a boil.

Add hops as indicated in the recipe.

After a 90 minute boil, chill wort to 67°F (19°C) and transfer to a fermenter. Pitch two packages of yeast or a yeast starter and aerate well.

Ferment at 67°F (19°C) until fermentation activity subsides, then rack to secondary.

Add first set of dry hops on top of the racked beer and age 7-9 days, then add the second set. Age five more days then bottle or keg.
