Notes
  • Mill grain twice. Use fine-mesh grain bag to minimize pumpkin getting into the wort.

  • 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 place face down on foil lined pan w/2 Tbsp H2O. Bake at 350°F for 90 minutes, then mash into a pulp.
  • 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.
  • Add all grains and stir, then add warm pumpkin slurry to the mash.

  • After sparging and while boil kettle heats up, move mash bag to over spare kettle, squeezing & letting drain. Add additional wort to boil kettle.
