Notes: Full bodied; much more than I expected. Rich, malty aroma and flavor that lingered in the mouth. Corn is there; enough so that you know it is American but not a bowl of Corn Flakes. Hops aroma and flavor just enough to know it's beer. Yummy. 5 gallons did not last very long.

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: (1) Start preparing hot water ... immerse liquid malt packs in some hot water for 20-30 minutes so they will flow and dissolve easily.

(2) Steep specialty grains in several liters of very hot water, then strain liquid into boil kettle, and rinse grains with a couple more liters of hot water.

(3) Add more hot water to kettle to about 14 liters. Keep applying heat until liquid is about 70 degrees. Then add contents of liquid malt pouches, rinsing them to dissolve all malt inside.

(4) Top up boil kettle to 20 liters total and bring to boil.

(5) As soon as boil commences, add 60 minute hops and then start timing.

(6) Add later hop additions and yeast nutrient and Whirlfloc at appropriate times.

(7) Chill and transfer to fermenter. Sparge hops. Top up fermenter to 21 liters. (a tad over 5.5 gal)

(8) Don't be too concerned about the temperature. Just get it to 25-30 degrees. Then into the fermenter. Then place fermenter in temperature cabinet set at say 16 degrees. leave for 24 hours and then pitch yeast and re-set tem controller to 19 degrees.

Notes: *** Adding Apple Juice/Cider as a Fermentable bumps up the pH. Ignore this, as the juice is added after mashing ***

*** Brewer's Best sells cinnamon sticks in 1 oz. packages ***

• Add cinnamon sticks at 5 minutes left in the boil. Transfer to Primary.

• Add cider at flameout.
