Notes: Gordon Strong’s traditional amber spiced pumpkin ale
5 gallons/19 L, extract with grains
OG = 1.054 FG = 1.014
IBU = 15 SRM = 14 ABV = 5.4%
Ingredients
6 lbs. (2.7 kg) amber liquid malt extract
12 oz. (340 g) caramel malt (20 °L)
6 oz. (170 g) brown malt
2 oz. (57 g) chocolate malt
8 oz. (227 g) brown sugar
3 oz. (85 g) light molasses
9 lbs. (4.1 kg) canned pumpkin puree (plain, unspiced)
6 cinnamon sticks, broken up
1.5 Tbsp. crystalized ginger, chopped
1 whole nutmeg, chopped
10 dried allspice berries, crushed
0.25 tsp. ground mace
4.1 AAU UK Goldings hops (60 min.) (0.7 oz./20 g at 5.9% alpha acids)
Wyeast 1272 (American Ale II), White Labs WLP051 (California Ale V), or Mangrove Jack’s M36 (Liberty Bell Ale) yeast
3⁄4 cup corn sugar (if priming)
Step by Step
Prepare the pumpkin (can be done the night before brewing) by removing from cans and putting into a large baking dish. Roast in a 400 °F (204 °C) oven for about one hour, stirring every 15 minutes, until fairly dry and caramelized but not burned. Put in a fine mesh bag. If prepared the night before, allow to cool, cover, and refrigerate until brew day. Remove from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature before using.
Prepare spices and place them in a fine mesh bag.
Use 6 gallons (23 L) of water in the brew kettle; heat to 158 °F (70 °C). Place the pumpkin (still in the mesh bag), and the caramel, brown, and chocolate malts in another mesh bag, and steep in the hot water for 30 minutes. Remove the mesh bags, then turn the heat off.
Add the liquid malt extract and stir thoroughly to dissolve the extract completely. You do not want to feel liquid extract at the bottom of the kettle when stirring with your spoon. Put the pumpkin mesh bag back in, turn the heat back on and bring to a boil. Once a boil is reached, remove the pumpkin, allowing liquid to drip back into the kettle. Boil the wort for 60 minutes, adding the hops at the time indicated in the recipe. Add the sugar and molasses with 15 minutes left in the boil.
Follow the remainder of the all-grain recipe.

Notes: Boil the wort with the extracts. Aim for 1.075 gravity when starting boil, 1.082 end of boil.
Yeast is K1-V1116 wine yeast (also ferments maltotriose so can ferment beer with workable attenuation).
Use 2 yeast packets. During the first 2-3 days, gradually add sweet chocolate mead to the fermenter with some yeast nutrient (starting with DAP and progressing to Wyeast blend).
Aerate 1-2 times a day until fermentation starts to subside.
Keep rousing yeast without aeration.
Ferment cold.
Give the yeast some serious time to settle after fermentation, then bottle with priming sugar. |

Notes: 10/4/2017: This is a very simple and cheap pale ale with a small boil for brewing demonstration at the Green Bay Rackers booth at the 2017 Northeast Wisconsin Craft Beer Show. It's made a simple specialty grain soak extract beer. Should be very flavorful without being filling.
----------
Brew Schedule:
Heat 2.5 gallons of water to 160 degrees
Place specialty grains in grain bag and steep for 20 minutes
T20
Remove grains and begin heating to boil
Add ALL DME, 8oz Cane Sugar
Boil and break
Add .75oz Columbus Hop Pellets
T15
Add 1tsp Irish Moss
T15
Flameout, Add 1oz Mosaic Hop Pellets
----------
Cool wort

10/6/2017: OG was 1.053 with 3.5 gallons of wort
Notes: This beer was SUPER easy to make, I could have knocked it out in less than two and a half hours had I not been talking with people and moving around the show. The ice bath in the tote worked well, I just stuffed it in there and left it stirring once and a while. Started at 5pm and got it in the fermenter and the yeast pitched by 8:30p. Didn't lose as much wort as planned from boil off, had to keep the pot partially covered to keep a strong boil on the induction cook top. It got the job done well enough though! I look forward to using this one for many more demos in the future!
10/12/2017: Took the first sample today. Fementation is practically complete and beer is beginning to clear. Seems to be turning out to be a nice flavorful dry pale ale. Dry hopped with one ounce of Simcoe hops, should add some nice aroma to the beer. FG looks like 1.005, that attenuation tho :) Looks like a nice 6.3% ABV, a little high but I don't mind. US-05 for me has been consistently hitting 1.008 and lower in most of my beers lately. Re-hydrating and pitching a large amount of this yeast seems to bump down the fg by a couple points more often then not. I'm very happy with this result! I could probably do with using a little less hops but it's still a bit early to tell.
10/15/2017: Moved to chamber to cold crash. Plan to bottle within the next couple days.
10/17/2017: Bottling day, FG is steady at 1.005. Bottled conditioned with a target of 2.4 volumes of C02. Used about 1.7oz corn sugar in about a cup of water for priming solution. Simcoe might be strange but it might be good! Bottled 29 12oz bottles. 43FC |
