Notes

Grains treated with 2% by weight water with 25 ppm Sodium Meta Bisulfite, just before grinding.

Mash water boiled before use to reduce oxygen level. Sodium Meta Bisulfite (Campden tabs) added as powder @ 50 ppm to prevent Hot Side Oxidation (will add 11.6 ppm Na+ and 40.5 ppm SO3- aq to water profile)

Add 5 drops Fermcap S prior to boil.
Add pumpkin to boil at 30 minutes remaining boil (place in muslin bags)

Cool wort to 18 C (59F) before pitching yeast and let rise to 22 C (72 F) maximum during fermentation
