Brewed this one up (10/6) and just opened a bottle today. OG was 1.056 and FG was 1.004. I basically followed the same receipt, but only went with 1 tablespoon of spice instead of 1.5. I baked the pumpkin for about 65 minutes since I'm at a higher elevation. I also used a pound of rice hulls...

Cracked open a bottle after two weeks. The rosemary was a bit overwhelming. Waited a week and tried another one. The rosemary had mellowed quite a bit in just a week. The rocky head on this one is awesome!
