I forget to put in the mash temp, so the program did not tell me the correct temp for the strike water. I used water that was 157degF so after the mash the temp was at 148degF. I boiled about a quart of water that raised the mash to 149degF. I recirculated about 2 qts of wort. I fly sparged the mash using the pumpkin "tea". |

For the sparge water I will be using a pumpkin "tea". I heated the 3 g of water to and added 1 can of pumpkin to 155degF. When it hit the temp I removed it from the stove and added 2 tsp of amalace enzyme. I left it in the kettle to be able to raise the temp for sparging. |

I took the pumpkin and yams from the oven and added them to the brew kettle to start heating for the boil. |

The boil went very well. No boil over. First hops went in at 60 min, brown sugar went in at 10 min, chiller went in at 8 min, and final hops (in a bag) went in at 3 min. Began cooling using an immersion chiller connected to my sink, took about 45 min to reach 75degF. |

I lost about half of a gallon in the kettle, but gained about a L from the starter.
TAKE AWAY: The biggest take away from today's brew session was, make sure your recipe is at %100 in the software before you start the brew session. Overall I feel like I had a great brew day. |
