[size=+1]Notes:[/size]
Brewed on 10/14/07. Pumpkin's didn't really dissolve well. Maybe i should have mashed them/food processed them before adding to mash. Oh well, c'est la vie. Pumpkin wedged, seeded, & cooked at 325˚F for about 1.3hr. Removed, and meat cut off skin & cubed. Sprinkled with about 1/8-1/4tsp allspice and placed back in the oven for another 20min. removed and mashed-in. Wort sweet after mash, passed iodophor tincture. Didnt taste like pumpkin when hot\ After boil, cooled with wort chiller. Tastes like sweet pumpkin pie after being chilled!!!! Bitchin!. Pitched with 1/2 of WLP028 1st gen. starter (~300mL). Starter eluent kind of tasted acidic/contaminated...hope that's not actually the case, and even more so I hope I didn't contaminate this beer. Too much work!!! OG 1.042 @ 73.4˚F.

10/20/07 - Racked to secondary, added 1 while crushed nutmeg to secondary.

11/12/07 - Bottled with 3/4c dextrose. FG 1.012.

Thanksgiving/Christmas - too much nutmeg. Spice overpowered this beer. Damnit! Otherwise nice maltiness with some pumpkin taste

01/23/07 - Mellowed out a lot, but still astringent in the back of the mouth because of the nutmeg. Duly noted for changes next year.
