This is the pumpkin north american brew kit for 1 gallon.
It is 1lb of 6 row, specialty grains, liquid malt extract. Seasonal spices and whatver hops come with the kit. Just 1 addition at 45 min. And 3/4lb of pure cooked pureed pumpkin.
I added all grains, and pumpkin together in a biab. steeped for 1 hour at 160. Then removed grains, brought up to boiling temp, removed pot from heat, added liquid extract, brought it back up to a boil. Added hops, timed boil for 45 min. Then added spices at flame out.
I ended up with a perfect 1 gallon amount diddnt have to add any extra water..
I use a fine mesh strainer when transferring into fermenter. I aerated wort, then put the yeast in.
It's been 1.5 weeks. High krousen has fallen about half a week ago. Still some fermenting signs going on, fermentation temp is 70F.
I did not bother with OG or FG.
So why is there like 6 inches of sediment at the bottom of my fermenter. I know trub is normal but this is such a huge amount I've never seen this much. Could the real pumpkin cause this?
What could be some negative side effects?
