The Great (Costco) Pumpkin Beer
OG: 1.060
FG: 1.012
IBU: 20
SRM: 15 (Maybe, guessing, Brewfather didn't account for the pie)
ABV: 6.2 (The pie added a bit of a kick...)
Grains:
Tuckers Maris Otter 4.5kg (90%)
Viking Munich Light 0.5kg (10%)
Hops:
Magnum 12% 15g (~0.75 g/l) (60 min)
Water:
RO Water Ca 92 Mg 16 Na 0 Cl 52 SO4 215
Pie:
Costco Pumpkin
Yeast:
US-05
Mashed 60 min at 65 C.
Fermented at around 18-20 deg garage temp.
Force Carbonated.
---------------------------------
And now for the failure: I canned the beer and basically had enough left to do the exact number for the exchange with three left over. However the last can I tried to do was basically filled with trub/yeast/pie and I expected that the three before it had some of that as well since they foamed a bit differently when I canned. I then promptly lost track of which ones were the potential trub bombs. I took the three lightest cans out of the exchange batch, however there is a chance you may be a lucky person with a can of trub. If that is the case, let me know and I'll happily drop off a replacement beer to you if you're in HRM. I have another pumpkin beer ready to test out in the next few days. I'll also throw bonus cans in of whatever I have on tap when you call me out on it (not that my beer is necessarily any good). Damn, I wrote too long. Cheers everyone!
If you care to see my horrible process:
