A repeat of the favorite recipe for this time of year.<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/p>\n

SA: Oct 6 @ 7:30PM — Brewing session lasted about 5 hours (as usual), and this year I only made the batch with one pie pumpkin (usually, it is 2-4). \u00a0I am very happy with the OG on this batch.<\/p>\n

SU: Oct 7 @ 9:30AM — There is pressure in the airlock, but no bubbling yet. \u00a0This was done with a yeast starter, but I started the batch 48 hours later than I planned and did not “recharge” the yeast flask with new nutrient. \u00a0I am sure this is why it has not started bubbling yet.<\/p>\n

TU: Oct 9 @ 7:30AM — The bubbling has gone to solid 3-second bursts, with 3-second intervals.<\/p>\n

WE: Oct 25 @ 10:30PM — Transferred to secondary. \u00a0The wort has a deep red color and an excellent, rich body. \u00a0I was a full week late transferring this to secondary (due to time constraints), but I wonder if the extra time in the fermentation bucket has improved the taste.<\/p>\n

SU: Nov 4 @ 2:15PM — Bottling yield: 2x 20oz, 60x 12oz. \u00a0Because I was so late getting to the bottling, I took about 6oz of the wort and used the yeast starter flask with some corn sugar to rebuild some yeast activity. \u00a0The mix went into the bottling bucket with the wort after 24 hours, and bottling occurred 16 hours later. \u00a0 \u00a0This left a bit of a foam in the bottle (about 1\/4″) which is a good precursor to good carbonation.<\/p>\n
