Tasting Notes: Delicious roasty flavor of pumpkin seeds. Bitterness from hops and slightly burnt see
Stage 1
3 lbs light DME
1/2 oz bullion hops for 30 min.(additional bitterness comes from the roasted seeds, I would not exceed 1/2 oz for 30)
WL English Ale yeast
After transfer to secondary (all fermentation finished)
3 cups raw pumpkin seeds
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Mix all and place on a cookie sheet.(use foil for less clean-up)
Roast at 450F for 20 minutes or so, until a seed or 2 are looking almost burnt.
I dumped the whole thing immediately into the secondary. By then infection is highly unlikely, but I figured piping hot was safer than letting it sit around.
There should be a small secondary fermentation.
You will want to filter with a hop bag.
Anal clarifying nerds will want to tertiary.(another secondary)
Trully unique. I got great reviews from some serious snobs.
