Is there any news on this beer? I'm brewing a Milk Pumkin Spiced Stout tomorrow and I just came across this one.

MMM, I love the smell of fermentation in the morning...

I brewed mine yesterday (finally got around to it). Brew went very well, hit all of my temps, got 80% efficiency.

I roasted the pumpkin in the oven @ 300 for 45 min. Put my strike water in the mash tun, put my grains in, mashed @ 155. Batch sparged with no stuck grains, the rice hulls did the trick. I upped the base malt a bit as well as the lactose since I will be putting coffee in this as well.

Brewed Recipe:

10 lbs 2-Row
3.75 lbs Pumpkin
1.5 lbs Chocolate Malt
1.0 lbs Rice Hulls
0.5 lbs 60-L

0.5 oz Columbus (15.6%) @ 60 min

Thames Valley Ale Yeast (1275)

1.5 lbs Lactose @ 10 min
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon @ 1 min
1 tsp Pumpkin Spice @ 1 min

Going to add the coffee either in the secondary as whole beans, as the guys at my LHBS claim that they had great success doing it that way, or cold brew and add at bottling.

Taste is amazing! Post-boil was sweet but not overly, mildly roasty, lots of chocolate qualities, and perfect pumpkin pie taste that finishes a little bitter from the hop.

It's bubbling like crazy right now so I'll update as I try more later this week.

My absolute favorite pumpkin beer recipe is a pumpkin porter clone my LHBS developed in conjunction with 4 peaks brewery here in Phoenix. It has a faint hint of pumpkin pie spice and a nice mild pumpkin flavor. It finishes a little sweet (mine fermented out to 1.020 but usually gets down around 1.014-016) but is still very quaffable.

Steeping Grains
1/2 Lb US Pale
1/2 Lb Munich
1/2 Lb Special Roast
1/2 Lb Chocolate Malt
1/4 Lb Caraffa II
6oz Crystal 90L

Malt Extracts
6.6Lbs Pale Malt LME

Hops
1Oz Kent Golding(60 min)
1Oz Fuggle (Last 5 min)

Other
Wyeast 1028 London
1tsp Brew Saltz
1tsp Irish Moss
1 Can Libby’s Pumpkin

1/4tsp Ground Ginger
1/4tsp Ground Clove

WOW!!!! Well tomorrow is offically 4 wks from bottling, so this should be carbonated adequately. However, I'll be at the firehouse for 24 hrs starting tomorrow morn at 0700. Guess I'll try a bottle tonite! How much difference can 1 day make?
Its incredible. Easily my favorite I've ever made. Very dark, orangey color. Crystal clear, no sediment of floaters. Great orange head. Excellent lacing on the glass. The Irish stout still comes through, but is heavily accented with actual pumpkin flavor and the pie spices popular this time of year. Can't wait to get a few bottles into the hands of some good friends for an honest, impartial opinion.

gothmog,
If you're still reading this thread, any chance of a recipe? If not, I guess we can all improvise upon our own versions of a Milk Stout but I'm curious about yours since you obviously did something right. Thanks!
