DIRECTIONS
Mill the grains and mash at 146°F (63°C) for 60 minutes. Recirculate until your runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 90 minutes, adding hops and yeast nutrient according to the schedule. After the boil, conduct a whirlpool step: Add whirlpool hops at 210°F (99°C), stir for 5 minutes to create a vortex, then allow 20 minutes to steep. Then chill wort to about 52°F (11°C), aerate thoroughly, and pitch plenty of healthy yeast. Ferment at 55°F (13°C) until the gravity reaches 1.016, then raise to 60°F (16°C) for diacetyl rest—total fermentation time should be about 2 weeks. Rack to secondary, crash to 35°F (2°C), and lager for 3 weeks. Package and carbonate to about 2.7 volumes of CO2.
BREWER’S NOTES
We started decocting Postcard about two years ago. The single-infusion method makes excellent beer, but we find that these steps offer a more complex malt profile and a more lasting impression.
Decoction Option: Mill the grains and mash at 131°F (55°C) for 20 minutes, then raise to 146°F (63°C) for 30 minutes, then to 158°F (70°C) for 10 minutes. Move up to one-third the mash volume to another kettle, bring it to a boil, and then mix it with the main mash. Mash out should be around 168°F (76°C). Then follow other directions as above.
Fermentation: This is another area where you can experiment. For example, we love the clean profile that 47°F (8°C) gives you, and there’s no need to adjust for a diacetyl rest that cold. We ferment most of our lagers that way, but for Postcard, we prefer the subtle fruity notes that the warmer fermentation gives us in conjunction with the hops.
Water profile: We prefer extremely soft water with minimal mineral content. This way the malt and hops shine in harmonious balance and aren’t fighting against any hardness on the palate.
Grist: If you can’t get Barke, use their base pilsner or experiment with your favorite imported variety. Another fun substitution could be malted corn, or try a cereal mash instead of using flaked. Enjoy! |

Notes: Loosely based on Lorena "Yooper" Evans, http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=210376 and inspired by Oskar Blues "death by Coconut." Tweaked using a different yeast, and a different grain bill. Tried using cold steep roast & crystal in 1 gallon room temp water. Rinsed & squeezed to get a total of 2-3 qts of dark brew to add to kettle near flame out. Didn't add as much flavor as I wanted. Also, flaked coconut is a royal PITA. Will use coconut extract next time. Will try 1st recipe with 6.5# MO + .5# GP, then switch to 7.0# GP. Will ferment using STC1000+ ALE PROFILE (Pr4)(16+ days)

Notes: Concept
===
What happens if you make a beer where you use pumkin as a fermentable and use as much of it as possible? The plan is to try to isolate the pumpkin flavor specifically. It will be roasted for 1 hour at 375F, but I will forego sprinkling with brown sugar. I want only the pumpkin sugars to be contributing to the mash. Then, I'll have to blend the pumpkin so that as much of the sugar as possible is accessible to the enzymes.
PPG of Pumpkin
===
I'm using the wild ass guess of 8 as a starting point from this post:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/pumpkin-specific-gravity.196466/
The big question on this is will it finish fermenting? If I use the minimum recommended diastic power of the mash, can I get the full conversion? Will it just take longer? I've lengthened the mash to 120 minutes to see if it affects the conversion of whatever starches may be present in the pumpkin.
Furthermore, if you max out the pumpkin contribution as a fermentable, what on earth will it taste like? Pumpkin juice from Harry Potter? Will it just end up reading as a surprisingly normal beer?
Note on quantity of pumpkin to buy
===
2 sugar pie pumpkins reduced down to 19oz of roasted pumpkin when I did burninating the pumpkinside. This requires 56 oz of roasted pumpkin. That adds up to roughly 6 pumpkins, I believe.
EDIT:
They didn't have any more sugar pie pumpkins because it's the day after thanksgiving. So I am switching to acorn squash. Though Kate suggested that Butternut might have been a better choice.
EDIT2:
I screwed up roasting the acorn squash. I left them in the oven when we left for a party. Hours later we came home and the whole house smelled pungently of squash. I discovered I had never taken them out and the oven was still on. I composted the desiccated husks, and felt suitably shitty about myself about the whole thing.
It seems like roasting will cook it down and reduce the volume by about half. So for 3.5 lbs of roasted squash, I'll need 7~ lbs of raw squash. |

Notes: Trying to work out salt content from gherkins and the liquid. Sodium content says about 2gms.
Added 10gms rock salt at 45 tasted
Added 10gms rock salt at 30 tasted
Added 10gms rock salt at 15 tasted
This brings us up to somewhere just under what would be considered a traditional gose salt amount which is quite high at 1g/l
We have .75g/l plus the gherkin juice and gherkins so reckon we're close to the traditional gose - salt-wise |
