Notes

The pumpkin was actually butternut squash that was prepared prior to the brewing. Four squashes were halved, de-seeded, coated in brown sugar, and baked in an oven at 375F for 2.5 hours. After allowing the halves to cool the skin was removed and the squash was cut into approximately 1"x1" cubes. These cubes were then added to the boil kettle in a mesh bag right before the start of the boil.

This batch was produced using a 'semi-decoction'- The mash temperature was a little low (142F) so after 45 minutes in the mash tun about 25% of grain was taken out and heated to 165F. This brought the mash temperature up to 144F. so after 15 more minutes about 33% was taken out of the tun and heated to 175F. When replaced into the tun the mash temperature increased to 148F. After fifteen minutes the mash was sparged with sparge water at 175F. The total mash time was about 90 minutes with two 'decoctions' during this period.
