Azacca Hoppy Ale

I was intrigued by the description of Azacca hops from NB, so I brewed a beer around it. Also got to teach someone brewing with this simplified brew recipe using BIAB on the stove.

Pumpkin 2017

I wanted to try a new yeast this year for Pumpkin17' and I found this saying K97 (which I had on hand) would be appropiate for the style:

Here is the recipe:

This one has a lot of pumpkin in it, roasted 3 pie pumpkins in 375F for an hour or so until they were starting to take on color.

Typical mash in my larger cooler-mash-tun. I also added brewed 8 Chi Tea bags and 2 cinnamon sticks and 1 cassia sticks and 1 tsp of ground cloves.

Using the TEC fermentation cooler, set to 65F. Fermentation was really fast.

Beer is pretty good, it's sweet but I was expecting that, spice is nice, probably pumpkin is hidden if at all apparent, but it's tradition.
