Hello all. I am very new to brewing. I have two batches of extract under my belt. My question is is this recipe an all grain brew or a partial mash brew? Would I be able to brew this with the deluxe brew kit I have now which is basically just the pot, fermenter and secondary. I can order all the grains from AHS and have them milled. If they were milled would that make is a partial mash? Thanks for any advice in advance! I watched some tutorials on partial mash and it seemed pretty straight forward.


Fermentables:
14 lbs 2-Row American Pale Malt
1 lb Victory
12 oz Crystal 80L
2 lbs pumpkin (small Cinderella pumpkin, skinned, cubed and baked for 45 minutes at 350 degrees, mashed (little water added) and coated with honey, then cooked another 45 minutes at 350 - then cooled to 154 degrees to be added to mash)

3/4 lb Demerara Sugar (added to boil after hot break)
1/4 lb Light Brown Sugar (added to boil after hot break)

Hops:
3/4 oz Magnum Hops @ 60 min
1/4 oz Sterling @ 15 min

Additives:
8 oz Lactose @ 15 min
1/2 tsp Yeast Nutrient @ 10 min
1 Whirlfloc Tab @ 10 min
2 tbsp fine chopped candied ginger @ 5 min
3 Ceylon cinnamon sticks (real cinnamon sticks ordered online)
1/2 tsp whole cloves @ 5 min
1/2 tsp nutmeg @ 5 min
1/2 tsp Allspice @ 5 min

Added to Secondary:
2 Madagascar Vanilla Beans (2 fresh beans split down middle, scraped and soaked in 4 oz vodka for 2 weeks - Vodka added to secondary)
1 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 tsp. Capella water soluble Graham Cracker Extract (purchased online and added to secondary)

Yeast:
2 packs Safeale US-05

Mashed at 154 degrees for 90 minutes (no sparge using 10 gallon Home Depot water cooler)

Boiled for 60 minutes.

Fermented at 66 degrees for 2 weeks in primary and 3 weeks in secondary.

That would be a all grain recipe. Only additional equiptment needed is a mash tun (10 gal cooler) to mash in. If you dont have a mash tun but you have a big enough brew pot, you can do the BIAB method but that would require a mesh bag big enough to hold all the grains.

If your grains are milled that does not make it a partial mash. A partial mash is getting your fermentable sugars from both malted grains and DME/LME. All grain is using just grain to get the sugars. The brown sugar you are adding does not make it a partial mash. You can tell because you have 14lbs of 2 row and that is where you will be getting most of your sugars from.

Thanks so much for the clarification Lespaul! I immediately watched as many videos as I could about all grain brewing and the creation of a mash tun. I will be making a trip to home depot asap! I cannot wait to build this thing. The tutorials out there are incredible.

For this recipe is doesn't mention anything about how much water to add. I am assuming around 6 gallons right?

Hey no problem, thats what we are here for,

A mash tun is simple to build once you have the right parts and the parts are like $20 plus cooler another $40. Thats what mine cost anyway. As for how much water to mash and sparge, I use this...

If you have any questions pm me and maybe I can talk you through any issues you might have.

If you were to make this with a mash tun would you need to do a full boil? My electric range isn't enough for that. Sorry, I am a noob as well haha
