So it's a little late for the fall season but my GF gf loves pumpkin and obviously did not have a chance to get any pumpkin beers this past fall. I have never done a pumpkin ale before so thought I would do an attempt at a 2.5 gal batch for her and see how it came out to maybe make again later at full size.
I had previously made a GF pale ale that came out really watery for my regular beer drinking taste. She loved it but thought I'd go for more body. Thus the small addition of oats and maltodextrin.
8 oz GF Oats (Roasted and steeped at 150 F for 30 min)
3 lb Sorghum LE (60 min)
30 oz Pumpkin Puree (30 min)
.5 tsp Irish Moss (10 min)
.5 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice (10 min)
4 oz Brown Sugar (5 min)
4 oz Maltodextrin (5 min)
4 oz Honey (Flameout)
1 oz Kent Goldings Hops (60 min)
S-04 Dry Yeast
Pumpkin roasted for an hour at 350 F to caramelize the sugars
Oats roasted at 350 F until brown
Expected OG 1.057
Expected FG 1.015
SRM 9
IBU 35.6
ABV % 5.6
Any questions/comments/thoughts appreciated as it is only my second GF batch and first pumpkin. Thanks and cheers!
