Notes: Just brewed...low efficiency adjusting it in recipe now...
========================
3/20/2024
Booting up this recipe again for spring/summer 2024 sending to competitions...will it work? idk. Not making any adjustments at this time...
========================
9/10/2022
bumping up the grain bill to get to 7%. changing to safale with higher expected efficiency. acid malt to proper mash ph. possibly will brew 10 gallons
========================
10/21/2021
measured FG of 1028. adjusting recipe attenuation from 71% to 65 so the recipe FG matches actual. came out to 4.8% abv but still tastes just as good, doesnt taste light in flavor or body at all.
still not sure why efficiency is so low on this beer (it was last year too). if you disregard the oats and pumpkin from the calculation it the efficiency is still low, under 60%. I would like to brew this to 8% some year but not sure what it would take for this beer (i.e. just a lot more base malt? how much? or go the DME route?)
This was the last beer I brewed on my old cooler mash tun and digiboil system. I've started using grainfather which so far has better and more consistent efficiency so it would be interesting to brew this same recipe on GF to see how much better it does.
========================
9/13/2021
updating for 2021. not sure what happened in terms of efficiency last year but this year i will be intentionally brewing it to 5% range for wifey. As alluded to below, I suspect the eff issue is oats and pumpkin not really contributing as much as this calculator thinks. I think I will just rebrew this thing exactly with no adjustments this year, see if i get the bad eff again.
========================
10/29/2020
calling it and kegging today. 10days. FG 1024
========================
10/26/2020
brewed this on 10/20/2020. need to update recipe from notebook but i believe it only came out at 1065. i think the flaked oats, wheat, and pumpkin dont contribute as many points as this calculator says it does....we will see.
========================
10/03/2020
reviewing notes and recipe from last year, going to combine kind of what i was trying to do and what i actually did. removing 1lb 2row and adding that to the maris otter. going to keep the 1lb honey malt, 1 lb lactose, 1lb wheat malt, 1 lb flaked oats, 1lb flaked wheat, 1lb 40L
========================
9/30/2019 brew day
there was snafu with ingredients. i had the homebrew shop pick my order last week. one bag was supposed to have 2lb oat malt and 2lb wheat malt. as far as i can tell it was just 4lb of flaked oats. so i just used 2lb of that flaked oat, then i had a bag of 1lb wheat malt and 40L (wouldve preferred not to use the 40L but it was mixed) so i added that and another lb of 2row.
Also for simplicity i scratched the existing spice bill and just did 2.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice. (using charlie papazian pumpkin recipe as reference for the approximate spice amount)
https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/beer-recipe-of-the-week-cucurbito-pepo-pumpkin-ale-2/
========================
9/25/2019
changing from pilsner to maris otter
========================
9/16/2019
Based on the award winning mango maya recipe. Considering coconut!? Bumped it down from 8 to 4oz. taking the hop schedule and pumpkin and spice amounts from 2017's pumpkin single 2. (pumpkin single 1 used brown sugar which is counterproductive in this milkshake beer) changed 2row back to pilsner. color estimator looks pretty orange but considering adding some crystal malt? biscuit malt has highest lovibond from original recipe.... |

Notes: - American 2-row was actually Crisp Larger Malt purchased from Malt Miller, but both are about 1.8L
- Caramalt (from malt miller) was actually 12L, not 17L as calculated by BF
-Carapils was from Brew UK
- heated strike water to 90 and poured. Mashed in at 77 and mash temp was 68c. Took sample and stired 2x and lost 1.5c.
-added 5 ml of lactic acid and BF predicted 5.3 ph, but I got 5.66 ph with the ph te ster at 21 c after 13 minutes of mashing. Don't know why. Not sure if I trust ph tester as it gave me 6.1 ph with distilled water which is supposed to be 7. Maybe try disuadated malt next time and or I may need to recalibrate ph tester at 25c and then always test at 25c. At the end of the mash I tested again at 20c and got 5.55ph.
-Hydrometer broke. Tery's spectrometer said 1050-1051, and I pulled a sample out of the fermenter and tested the morning after and it was about 1051. This is 63% effeciency (awful). I did only one batch sparge and there was a good few inches of just water on top of grist, so perhaps always try to do 2 X batch sparges.
- Day 6 fermentation: American Ale 1056 is different! Fermentation began bubbling day 2 and from day 3-5 it went crazy. Despite decent headspace (27 litres), Air lock impossible so needed blow off tube continiously which needed emptying daily. Day 6 it's still bubbling 60 X a minute and there is a crousing on top, but gravity is 1012. Style guide says 1008-1016, and I am bound to lose 2-3 points after racking, so I racked to secondary for dryhopping to slow down fermentation. Color is very light as expected, cloudy. Tasting is promissing, hoppy and the bitterness you would expect - no off flavours detected. 1056 is supposed to be less attenuative than 05, but I don't see it at all!
- 4 days of dry hopping so day 10 overall and I've removed the harps. The gravity is 1008 and the sample got frozen but tastes very light in colour and very tropical fruit and there is still some bubbles. Next am bubbles finally stopped rising so turned off heat belt amd begin conditioning on day 11.
- Review. Brew day Friday. Fermented 6 days (Thur) and racked to pet. DH 4 days and pulled hops out on day 10 (Mon), turned heat belt off and began conditioning at approximately 12-16c. All fermenting was about 20c. Since turning heat belt off day 10, bubbling has been slow (1-4 per minute). Day 14 and the bubbling has stopped. Beer still cloudy, though. Conditioned with no heat for 5 days.
- day 15, Bottling. Using palmers chart, he says you base the amount of sugar on the final ferm temp, which for me is 12c, so for 2.5 co2, that's 130 gr of sugar. I did 138 given how much yeast has settled. FG 1008 (did not drop at all over 7 days of conditioning). 5.6 abv. Very clear and very promising taste. Put heat belt on.
- Summary. Racked at day 6 to PET (1012) and added DH. removed DH day 10 (1008). Removed heat day 11. Conditioned 5 days and bottled day 15 (1008). 5.6% ABV. Very clear at bottling but was able to suck up some yeast on the sides.
- Moved 51 bottles yield to green hot box and raised temp to 23c, requiring both heat belts.
- Day 11 the beer is properly carbonated, so turned hot box off.
