Notes: Sort of a hybrid between a Belgian Strong Golden Ale, a Brut IPA and a British Pale Barley Wine-Style Ale.
Step mash by pulling 1 or 2 decoctions for ultimate fermentability and some added toastiness. Sugar gets added at the end of the boil, stirred into maybe half a liter of some reserved second runnings, probably use Zucarmex or Florida Crystals unrefined sugar.
Non-flocculent London yeast should attenuate nicely.
Package in champagne bottles at Belgian levels of carbonation.

Notes: All grains and pumpkin go in the mash. If the pumpkin is in the boil you will most likely lose a gallon of water, and have a tough time straining the pumpkin out.
If you really want to put the pumpkin into the boil then you should use a grain bag or filter the wort before racking to your primary.
The pumpkin should be cleaned and cut into small cubes and baked for 45 mins at 350, then mashed and coated with honey. Then baked for another 45 mins at 350. Let it cool to 154 and add to mash.
For the vanilla bean vodka solution, two vanilla beans are cut in half. The seeds and goodies are then scraped into 4oz of vodka. Let the vodka sit for 2 weeks. |

Notes: - Brewed on 7/20/19
- Took mash water and sparge water volumes from the Grainfather brew session tool
- Expecting mash efficiency of 87% which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.065 (used brewer's friend vs. grainfather calculator to account for higher expected extraction from sugar addition)
- Mash temp settled right it at ~150F
- Hit 13.7 plato pre boil gravity which converts to 1.056 vs. 1.065 target so ~75% mash efficiency vs. 87% expected. Think the grain crush at homebrew store was different. So I added ~15 oz of DME and ~8 oz of Corn Sugar to bump gravity to 15.8 plato or 1.065.
- Sprinkle in sugar during last 10 minutes of the boil which should add 7 gravity points
- Expecting to boil down to ~6 (5.95) gallons so boil-off tool estimates 1.081 OG (1.074 +7). Actual original gravity reading was 18.6 plato which converts to 1.077 vs 1.081 expected. Need to check sugar calculations again. Also might not have boiled all the way down to 5.95, maybe 6.15.
- After boil had ~6.0 gallons (expected ~6.0) in the kettle and ~5.5 gallons made it into the fermenter
- Pitched the yeast starter and set fermentation chamber at 66F, bumped to 67F on day 2, 68F on day 4, 69 on day 6, then 70F on day 8 and held here.
- Put in dry hops on day 7 (on Friday night, previously brewed last Saturday morning)
- Packaged on 8/3/19, FG was 1.008 (at 71F) which converts to 1.009 so 85% attenuation vs 74% avg. and 80% expected |

Notes: Grain Absorption rate is .125
DON'T measure ph right away. Give it 15 minutes to even out. Obviously a bigger difference for darker beers.
If acid is really needed, add a portion of it (50 - 75%) at first. Test at 15 minutes, let cool for 5, then add lactic acid if required.
80% of the sacchrification happened in the first 20 minutes. |

Notes: Use yeast from Oatmeal Stout. Add cocoa & coffee near end of fermentation. Bigger than style but will be amazing in June, I hope.
Split 3g, 5.5g to oak one, and other is standard.
