    Pumpkin spice addition

    Taste before transferring from the fermentor, if you want more spice then add probably a 3rd of what you already added. If your bottling at that point you could wait a day before bottling or if kegging just transfer it all.

    recommend a industrial brewery book

    4th edition Technology Brewing and Malting By Wolfgang Kunze or previous editions if you want to go a little cheaper. Stuff does get updated but depending on your purpose a cheaper 2nd or 3rd edition may work.

    Whiskey Barrel Fun
