Notes: DESIGN POINTS :
- Using Maris Otter instead of 2-row cause I love it in anything brown/stout-ish.
- G&T didn't have Crystal 120 so I subbed Special B (98-120L), and opted for Pale Chocolate (200-250L) for the Choc Malt.
- Not doing live pH test & adjustment, just going to go with the BrewersFriend calc and target 1 point lower than projected since I always seem to come out higher.
- Not adjusting water profile for Pumpkin as it is claimed to be pH neutral. Am mashing in 8F higher instead of normal 6F, to account for the additional cool/roomtemp pumpkin from fridge.
- Targeting a bit more total water volume in case the pumpkin retains some water after mash-out.
KEY STEPS:
1) At mash-in temp, 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.
2) Mash-in grains & stir, then add warm pumpkin slurry to the mash.
3) Test pH after 10min for notes/next brew addition adjustments.
4) Add Fermcap prior to boil.
5) Reyhdrate yeast (see below).
6) Add Whirlfloc near boil end for clarity.
7) Ferment at 68F for 3 to 4 weeks.
8) Add PMB when kegging.
*****
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.
*****
YEAST REHYDRATION INFO
Source: https://fermentis.com/en/product/safale-us%E2%80%9105/ .
1) Sprinkle the yeast in minimum 10 times its weight (~1/2 cup) of sterile water (not RO or distilled) or boiled & hopped wort at 25 to 29°C (77°F to 84°F).
2) Leave to rest 15-30 minutes.
3) Gently stir and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. |

| Notes: The hibiscus drops the Ph of the wort during the boil phase. It dropped nearly a full point Ph and had to adjust accordingly by adding baking soda and chalk. So use baking soda or chalk to counteract accordingly after the mash phase and entering the boil phase. Test the Ph after the boil phase to ensure wort is at 5.2 to 5.6 Ph. Adjust using Lactic Acid to drop Ph or use baking soda to increase Ph based on your readings. |

Notes: Mash the grains like you would for any all-grain recipe. After running your wort in to the boil kettle, bring the wort to boiling for at least two minutes to kill off any bacteria from the grain.
DO NOT use any hops at this time.
Terminate the boil after two minutes and let the wort cool naturally to ~95 degrees F. If you can keep the wort in boil kettle, do so, or transfer into a stainless steel vessel that can be kept at temperature for at least 36 hours.
A reptile heater with temp controller can work, as can wrapping with warm towels. Attempt to prevent excess oxygen from entering vessel by purging with c02 before closing if possible, and cover with plastic wrap after pitching the Lactobacillus bacteria.
After 36 to 48 hours your wort should smell sour and tart. If you can measure pH, ensure that the pH is around 3.5. If not, let your nose be your judge.
Once the beer is sufficiently sour to measurement or taste, return the soured wort to the boil kettle and execute a regular boil schedule with your 60 minute and 10 minute hop additions. Cool to ale temperature and pitch K-97 in primary fermentation.
After primary fermentation is complete transfer the beer to your bottling bucket with 7.2 oz of table sugar and the 4oz cherry flavoring and bottle.

| Notes: I tried simplifying the recipe by deleting the Blackprinz and doubling the Midnight Wheat, but it just wasn't as interesting that way. I also complicated it by using both 60L and 120L crystal malts, which worked out pretty well even though that's an overly-complex malt bill. Overall I like this version best. |
