Thunderstruck Pumpkin Ale

That recipe sounds great. How do you roast your pumpkin? (How long and at what temperature).

 

[A3k]

making a lower alcohol APA today.

I've finally got my HERMS setup, and now using it for the second time. i'm experimenting with starting from room temp, and letting the HERMS get it to sac temp.
I really like how much it simplifies the start of the brew day, so i hope the results are as good as i'm hoping (batch 1 tastes good)

[Tony]

Just mashed a Kolsch

100% BB pils

hopped with US grown hallertau.

And it smells damn fine !

 

[lukiferj]

That recipe sounds great. How do you roast your pumpkin? (How long and at what temperature).

I roast the pumpkin at about 180 degrees for 45 mins. Just until it start caramelizing. Seems to add a little sweetness.

 

[chefeffect]

Never brewed a Kolsch before, so did some research and whacked this recipe together and she is down to 1.020 in three days, tastes great so far!

American IPA for Vic Brew, combination of American and NZ hops.

Poor effeciency (61%) with previous batches. I've addressed this with a finer milling (BIAB, so not bothered with stuck sparges) and recirculating the mash.

1st run out with my LB pump....and it shat itself....F&#K !!! Took it apart, bit of crap in there, but still wouldn't work after cleaning.

Any advice would be welcome, via PM so as not to clog the thread.

Anyway, I'm off to look for a download for the 'Benny Hill' music to play whilst I brew next time

Thought about a protein rest, but being a double batch i can only really do one step, otherwise i end up running out of room in the esky.

Come on, you know you want to whip your decoct out.

 

[mje1980]

Haha, im not game enough for that!. I step with boiling water. Too many steps and i run out of water and room!. Single batches in my esky tun are ok, but for a double its a tight fit. Need a heat stick, or a HERMS, or a BM!!

APA... probably too dark these days to be called an APA but it has evolved from one so still wears its title:

 

[NickB]

Like it Cocko - who cares about colour?

 

[Cocko]

Like it Cocko - who cares about colour?

Yeah, its a good drop mate! Cheers :icon_cheers:

Often wind it down to 5.8% with the grain bill, same hopping schedule and somehow it still works...

I think it is all about the 9-10% crystal and a truck load of centennial - as long as you have that, seems to be a cracker!

 

[NickB]

Nice. Problem I have (and It's a First World Problem for sure!) is that in my software, I'm at 75% efficiency, but in 'real life', I'm around the 92-95% mark. Makes for a 'light Lager' that's somewhat more alcoholic than anticipated. IIPA's do benefit, though


Cheers

Hey Cocko,

Do you find the MO and ~9% Crystal too chewy for the 25IBU's?

Looks and sounds like a delicious recipe none the less. Love the cent/cas combo
