Notes: 1st place American Porter and Stout Category, Oregon Brew Crew Fall Classic

https://fallclassic.brewingcompetitions.com/

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Reiterated mash (1/2 grains each mash)
Water chemistry / mash notes:
2/3 minerals added to 1st strike + 1st sparge (7.7 gal) with remaining 1/3 added to 2nd mash.
pH was too low for both mashes, so added 0.75g baking soda to 1st mash and 1g to 2nd mash
----------------------
Notes from Great Fermentations
Suggested Mash Temperature:
A high mash temperature is recommended to create a big Imperial stout with lots of body. We suggest a mash temperature of 155° - 157°F.

Fermentation Schedule:
We recommend a primary fermentation of two to four weeks at 64° - 72° F, and a secondary fermentation for 2 to 4 weeks before bottling or kegging, adding cold steeped coffee, vanilla beans or vanilla bean tincture in the secondary or at packaging time, as desired. This is a big imperial stout that can be aged for an extended period of time, so don’t be shy about setting a few bottles back for several months!

BREWER’S NOTES:
Snark Lord is quite a huge Imperial Stout! As a delicious, complex beer, there are a few special instructions for making sure this
one comes out as close to the commercial version as possible. One pound of a sugar (not included) is added at the last 10 minutes of the boil. We recommend jagggery, a non-centrifugal cane sugar. Jaggery goes by a number of names and can often be found in Indian or Asian grocery stores. However, you might try turbinado sugar or molasses as a substitute. The two included
vanilla beans can be cut open, scraped and added to the boil, soaked in enough vodka to cover for a few weeks then the resulting tincture added into the secondary at bottling time, or both! The 4 oz of included coffee can be cold steeped in about a quart of water by coarsely crushing the coffee beans (a sandwich bag and a rolling pin or coffee cup work well for this), adding
them to the quart of water, and refrigerating for up to 24 hours. You can then strain out the coffee beans and add the cold steeped coffee to the secondary or in the bottling bucket/keg at packaging time.

Notes: Very difficult, expensive, and time consuming beer to brew and ferment, but totally worth it. Original recipe was with Pale Ale Malt as a base. Latest version is with Maris Otter Malt as a base along with an extra 5 pounds.

US-05 yeast, step up 3.5 gallons 3 times and pitch at high krausen after areating wort with pump and diffusion stone. Also need to use 1.5 tsp of wyeast nutrient and a whirlfloc tablet in the boil.

I had to mash 14 pounds of the base malt the night before as my mashtun takes a significant hit on efficiency whenever I go over 14#. Then I simply cool the wort and place in the fridge overnight and boil down the next day on the stovetop while the rest of the malt is being mashed in. Add everything together and hop according to the recipe.

Also increased the bittering hops to 40 IBU's on this MO version to be more inline with what the recipe calls for. If it doesn't work, I'll dial it back on the next batch. Added hops (1 ounce Magnum 12.5 AAU) with 2 hours left in the boil.

Notes: Add the honey & table sugar at flameout.

Add grapefruit rind and brown sugar 60 hours into fermentation - 4oz of brown sugar adds ~0.002 gravity points to 5 gallons. 1lb of red grapefruit adds .46 gravity points which is equal to 1.00046, so negligible. Strictly for flavor.

Took Final Gravity reading on 6/17, came in at 1.014. OG was 1.090 so ABV should be around 10%. 83% attenuation at that OG. I got way more sugar in the original mash than I wanted. This will be a VERY strong beer.

Notes: Budweiser is produced using barley malt, rice, water, hops and yeast. The brewing happens in seven steps: milling, mashing, straining, brew kettle, primary fermentation, beechwood lagering and finishing.[46] It is lagered with beechwood chips in the aging vessel. While beechwood chips are used in the maturation tank, there is little to no flavor contribution from the wood, mainly because they are boiled in sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) for seven hours for the very purpose of removing any flavor from the wood. (Found on Wikipedia)

Brew #1, everybody really loved it, trying another batch. I did use the Beach like the Wikipedia said to. Used about 1/2 pound of finished beach.

Brew #2, 11/8/2023, making 5 gallon batch. Hallertae Hops went bad, using 1oz US Saaz Alpha 6.5%. Will be using 1 pound of the finished beach.

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.

FG was 1.014 - spot on. Transferred to 3G keg on November 11 and hit with 30 PSI for almost 2 days.

All foam after 2 days @ 30 PSI. Dip tube was also crammed with hop sediment, weird. Cleaned it out and working fine. Lowered to 10 PSI for serving.

First taste on Nov 13 2014. 80% head from the keg. Hopefully will not keep this up given two more days @ 10 PSI. App: A nice copper, almost light brown colour. Off-white head with good retention. Aroma: Moderate woody hoppiness. Taste: Slightly toasty with caramel maltiness. Relatively dry and clean. Typical lager after-taste. MF: Average. Medium body and medium carbonation. Overall: Good, but still a lager - not the biggest fan. Might be slightly fruity, which is not good for the style. Emma says one of the better lagers she has had.

Description: This easy drinking, no-frills beer is my first ever to be kegged! Enjoy 3 gallons of this copper-coloured, crisp and fresh lager with the underlying and complex characteristics of an ale fermentation. The resulting brew, a California Common Ale, will tickle your taste buds and want you leaving more. Here is some testimony: "Probably one of the best lagers I have ever tried" - Emma. 4.9% abv, 39 IBUs
