St Arnold Pumpkinator clone recipe anyone?

You probably saw this https://www.brewtoad.com/recipes/saint-arnold-pumpkinator-clone
No idea if it is anything like the beer.

So, are you thinking of adding peaches to it?

 

Its been a while since I've had it but from their website "It is brewed with a combination of pale two row, caramel and black malts, Cascade and Liberty hops for a background hop flavor, pumpkin for a rich mouthfeel, molasses and brown sugar, and spiced and dry-spiced" and its 10% ABV, OG 1.094.

All I know is that it taste like a cinnamon bomb to me.

 

@awinkro probably knows.

 

Brewtoad recipe is off by quite a bit, from what I can remember off the top of my head. We don't use belgian yeast...house SA yeast(English style yeast). I'm currently at home for a bit with my newborn. I return to work on the 16th. I'll send out some percentages.

 

I second the awesome....will be watching this thread!

 

Watching. Hoping @awinkro comes through. Many brewers do pumpkin beers wrong, St. Arnolds does not.

 

Sorry for the delay...here are the percentages:

Target SG: 25°P/1.100
77% 2 row
6.5% Cara 20
6.5% cara 45
5% Special B
3% Chocolate
2% Black

Brown sugar: 4% of total malt bill
Molasses: .6% total malt bill (gal original unit)

 

Thanks @awinkro for the follow up!! Can't wait to try this recipe later this year.

 

This is awesome....Thanks so much @awinkro

 

I have done the same, except I am using American oak chips soaked in brandy. Mine has fermented three weeks...tasted it and WOW. I cant wait for the first bottled batch mid July. Brandy aged will be ready just in time for Halloween.

 

Wait...wut? Pumpkin beers in June?

@HerbMeowing does not approve.

 

Must be happening in the southern hemisphere where it's late autumn.

 

What's the hopping feedback? Spice feedback? Pumpkin feedback? This is what I have:

0.67 oz Horizon @ 60 mins
0.90 oz EKG @ 10 mins
0.90 oz EKG @ 1 mins
IBU = 30

0.75 tbsp McCormick Pumpkin Pie Spice @ 0 mins

3.75 lbs pumpkin puree, mash

 

You need approximately 6.85 oz. of pumpkin puree per five gallon batch.

The website says for the 2011 batch: "With the amount of pumpkin used to make Pumpkinator, we could have baked 437 pumpkin pies," and cites, "n the time it took to make the 154 bbls of Pumpkinator wort" so putting that together at one 15oz. can of pumpkin puree per pie that is:

154 BBL = 4774 gallons
437 pies * 15oz. = 6555 oz. pumpkin
6555/4774 = 1.37oz. pumpkin per gallon of beer
1.37 oz. * 5 = 6.85 oz. pumpkin

I'd take a stab that of the Cascade and Liberty hops that the Cascade is bittering and Liberty is a late 15 or 10 minute addition.
