Notes: Use one can of Libby's pumpkin (29 oz).
Use 1.8 tsp of pumpkin pie mix at flameout. I used 2 tsp total in practice.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added brewing salts a few minutes late, after first adding the grain and pumpkin. After stirring, temperature was 152 - 153 F.
Pumpkin was warmed in a pot up to about 153 F, until the bubbling became hard to handle.
OG: 1.064 - 1.066, under the target of 1.068.
Had to add a few cups of water after the boil to reach three gal.
With the yeast and extra liquid added, the resulting ABV is probably around 5.0 - 5.5. |

Brewed a 10-gallon batch and split into 2 5-gallon carboys. One had Wyeast London Ale 1028 and the other had Wyeast Scottish Ale.
Primary fermentation 15 days at 68 degrees
Secondary fermentation 14 days at 72 degrees
Secondary fermentation was done in a fresh 8-gallon Rye Whiskey Barrel (50-50 blend from both carboys). I would recommend sampling the barrel at the end of week one to determine how much longer you want it to go.
Transferred to kegs for long term conditioning.
Bottled one keg on 12/14/13 |

Notes: Ended up overshooting mash temp to 156F, but let it ride. Hit OG exactly. Used oxygenation kit for first time with 1L starter of 4th gen WY1968 built from approx 140ml of thick slurry (3M cell/ml thick). Primary ferment was done in 3 days! FG=1016, about 4-5 points higher than I hoped. Flavor is not bad in hydro samples, but not what I had hoped. More forward roasted malt than anticipated. Not as much sweetness or hop flavor as hoped, though a nice woodsy, leathery english hop flavor is there. Beer is balanced. And flavors play well off each other. Mouthfeel is medium, but heavier than anticipated. All in all, this was a solid recipe, but I wish I had mashed about 3 degrees lower. Will keg and fine after 3 week primary. Will not harvest yeast. It's about time for a new culture of 1968.
Kegged, fined, and carbed, and this ended up being a pleasant surprise. Beer has been a crowd favorite. Roastiness is muted some with it fully carbonated and the mouthfeel is a little less chewey now. Literally everyone who's tried this has loved it, even non-beer drinkers. I drank almost a full 2L growler at the Mardi Gras. Glad I ended up with almost 6 gallons and put what wouldn't fit in the keg into bottles to condition with "fizz drops." Will be making this one again with recipe unchanged besides ensuring mash temp is 152-154 and no higher. |
