Notes: Brewed 23 April, 2025
Yeast is good for up to 90F, so probably no or minimal temp control, and need a blow off valve. BB date 01/2025, so used 8 ounce starter culture, rocking and rolling after 8 hours in the beaker, will pitch straight in once ready.
I had an extra .75# Pils so altered the mash bill to accommodate this. Originally has 8# 2 row, 2# pils & rye.
Mashed in for single infusion mash at 152F
took ph at 10m, got 5.6, added some acid.
took ph again, got 5.28
at about 90 minutes in, got 2x readings of 1.054. did 10 minute mash out, got 1.057.
Vourlauf : 1.057.
At this point I realize, I have not started the sparge kettle. Took about 30 minutes to get from 100-180F
Sparged to 8.1 gallons (also letting the malt pipe drain)
got 1.047. got almost 8.5 after malt pipe runnings.
ramped power up to 100 & temp to 198, held and began boil. Hop schedule started about 13:45
boiled 10 minutes and started hop schedule.
I inadvertently put the 10 min. hops in at 15 min. Caught it 2 minutes in, shortened the boil and last hop from 5 to 3
Hit 1.057 pre yeast pitch, 1.053 after. pitched at 82F
added 1.5# honey, got 1.059
First fermentation in the Blichman 14 gallon
Fermentation was intense and almost Kveik like. 24 hours after pitch, it was about 1.030. Later that day, it was in the 1.020’s at 88F, so I started both chiller circuits and cooled to 77F. This slowed the fermentation rate- but the blow off valve was still churning. Got down to 1.011-1.013 on the tilt and crashed it about 48 hours from pitching.
Will dry hop after either dumping the yeast or transferring to another fermenter.
Ambient temp was too warm to cold crash, never got below 40F and the yeast continued to work until 1.005 at about 40F.
Impressive. Of course, I harvested in case something interesting comes up soon.
Tasting notes:
aroma is minimal; a hint of orange is all i get.
palette: Balanced, not residually sweet or overly bitter, but bitter enough to be easy to drink. Mouthfeel is good, as is the body, which belies the 1.005 FG. There is a slight spicy/grainy character to the finish; not grainy like 6 row malt, but in a flavor context. There’s a slight spice, but not peppery.
The yeast is barely noticeable, if at all. I get a slight aroma of orange and that’s it.

Notes: - Get White Labs WLP002 English Ale yeast if available.
- Mill grain twice. Use fine-mesh grain bag to minimize pumpkin getting into the wort.
PREP PUMPKIN
- Use pie pumpkin and/or butternut squash (if brown ale) about 10 pounds in total weight (to yield 3-5 lb net per 5-gallon batch).
- Halve the pumpkin, remove pulp and seeds, and cut the halves into pieces about 6 inches long. Arrange the pieces on a foil-lined cookie sheet, and sprinkle them liberally with brown sugar. Roast in the oven at 375°F until soft (approx 1.5-2.5hrs). During roasting, the brown sugar will melt and caramelize onto the pumpkin, providing extra flavor. Remove from oven and let cool. Peel off the skin, dice into large cubes (being sure to save the juice for its color and flavor), mash to a pulp, and store in a covered bowl in the fridge. On brew day, let the pumpkin warm to room temperature.
MASHING
- Don't leave heat on after meeting mash-in temp (163)
- Take about 1/2 gallon of the hot mash water before adding grain, add it to the pumpkin and stir to break up big clumps, yielding a slurry.
- Add all grains and stir, then add warm pumpkin slurry to the mash.
- Test pH after 10min...see Water Chemistry section.
- Mash-in will likely drop temp by 6degrees
- Mashing will likely drop temp by 10 degrees per 60min
- Range goal is 156 - 141 during the 90min mash
BOILING
- After sparging and while boil kettle heats up, move mash bag to over spare kettle, squeezing & letting drain. Add additional wort to boil kettle.
- Ferment in basement to keep room temp around 70degrees. |
