Notes: Alternate Facts is a single hop imperial pumpkin ale using much of the same mash bill as my Altbier, subbing in Peasant 2 row for pilsner, pulling some darker malts for rye and Redx.
Plan is to bake 2.2# of fresh pumpkin for the mash. This plus the rye means lots of rice hulls. Also mashing in 7.7 ounces of toasted pumpkin seeds. They impart nut, earthy like flavor that should go well with a moderate rye addition.
Latest hop addition is home grown cascade.
Some home grown hops will also go in the 15 minute addition.
10/12: Thawed, baked and mashed the pumpkin, water is nice and orange, but otherwise unchanged. Mashed at 108 for 30m and 152 for 75m
It is VERY slow draining, so this water will sit overnight and will mash in malts tomorrow.
Using dry WLP001, good through 9/2025, did an 8oz DME starter culture for about 16 hours.
10/13/2025:
mash in about 0845. Took ph about 15 mins in.. 5.6. added 2.25 tsp acid blend.
Ran a beta-glucan rest at 110 for 30m
ran mash at 152 for about 90m
mashed until 11:20, got 2x readings of 1.056
raised the grain basket and vourlauf.
15m: 1.057-ish
30m: 1.064
getting hops ready, confirmed same refractometer reading. began sparge.
Sparge complete at 14:00, set temp to boil, power to 100, gravity 1.050. topped off at 208F, gravity unchanged. 8.5 gallons at 1.050
boil started 14:26, added first wort hop.
45m in, added flavor hops
55m in, added homegrown hops. 6 minutes for these hops (extended the boil 1m), plus a few seconds.
Stirred a mini-whirlpool and then did a recirculate whirlpool starting at 190F on down.
Refractometer shows 1.066.
Tilt says 1.062.
Added 2.25 # Honey, hit 1.071. Pitched yeast, dropped to
1.065 at 71F.
Got fermentation overnight.
10/14 at 1500 - 1.049, high activity.
10/15 at 1900 - 1.024, low activity but still going.
...
10/17 at 1600 - 1.014 - 1.015. A bubble or 2 every once in a while, but not much activity.
10/19 got to 1.012
Tried to cold crash but temperature was too high
Got 1.011 on 10/20. Also had mini split installed
Got cold crash to 36f
