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: If not using Kveik Yeast, I recommend using Wyeast London Ale III for Hazy IPAs

I used Whole Leaf Citra hops because I had them, but you can use pellet hops as well.

Notes: Use 4.5 gallons carbon filtered water, adjusted with 4 grams gypsum. Step Mash: 45 Minutes at 150F, ramp to 170F over 15 minutes (2.5 gallons boiling water), rest for 10 minutes at 170F. Collect 6.6 gallon, sparging with 175F water. Boil vigorously for 75 minute, hopping accordingly. Whirlpool and allow to settle for 15 minutes. Chill wort to 64F. Aerate wort and pitch yeast. Ferment warm 68-70F. Dry hop one week into fermentation. Allow beer to stay warm with hops for a week. Rack beer, crash cool, and cold age for a week.

Notes: Brewed 3/22/15. Strike water was 168F and dropped it to about 152F. Recirculated a gallon and dropped it to 150F. pH was 5.3 which is actually lower than predicted. Probably didn't need any acid malt. Sparge was a bit faster than normal stopped the runoff at about 3 brix. Only got about 75% kettle efficiency. Did a hop stand with 2oz for 30min. Started it at 180F and it dropped to 170F. Did sporadic heating to keep it above 170F. Got about 5.5gal from the boil and decided to just go with that. Efficiency was a bit less that normal but still within range. I collected a bit shy of 5.75 overall. I pitched at about 72F so I cooled it down to 62 and then had to heat it up a bit to 67F. 3/23 morning it was at about 68F so I cooled it down. By evening it was sitting at about 67F. 3/24 the beer was sitting at about 67F and I threw an ice pack in by evening time it was still sitting at about 67F. By morning it had heated up to 69F and by evening it was at about 70F. Dry hopped an took a gravity reading on 4/13. Reading was 1.011.
