Notes

Micro Homebrew
———

  • Weyermann Type 1 Munich (5.1-7.0°L) — ?
  • Best Malz Red X (11-13°L) — ?
  • Caramel 60°L (Breiss) — ?

    Mash Notes:
  • For the decoction, I will just have to estimate. The full mash is 4-5 gallons. For raising 25 degrees (or more) at least 1/3rd decoction will be needed. An estimate of 1.5 gallons is what I’ll use as a rough estimate, but I’ll have to gage if that feels right on brew day and take good notes.
  • I will mash once again in the brew kettle because it is very convenient to be able to use direct heat to raise to the next step. Especially for a half batch this seems the most convenient and least error prone.

    Pumpkin Notes:
  • I will be using 2 sugar pumpkins that have been roasted, sprinkled with brown sugar. I will roast them for 1 hour at 375F, halving them and removing the guts. One will go in the mash, the other in the boil.

    Fermentation Notes:
  • May do a dyacedal rest after fermentation is complete. 4-5 days at 50 degrees.
