WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Mixed canned pumpkin with 8 oz honey and baked at 350 for 60 minutes. Let cool, placed in nylon grain bag and boiled for 60 minutes.

Sliced Vanilla Beans lengthwise and scraped out seeds and everything inside into jar, covered beans with vodka. Chopped bean into 1/4 inch pieces and added to solution as well. Marinated for 2 weeks and then added to secondary.

Add .5 tsp of Capella's Graham Cracker Extract to secondary. Add the other .5 tsp to bottling bucket.
