Tomorrow I'll be brewing a pumpkin ale for this fall. Now I've read several different recipes and said to use pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix.
While shopping for pure pumpkin, I found organic canned pumpkin and organic canned pumpkin pie mix. The ingredients of the pure pumpkin was obviously just 100% pure organic pumpkin, but the pumpkin pie mix was 100% pure pumpkin, evaporated cane juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice.
Would there be a difference if I were to boil with the pure pumpkin and add the spices, or boil with pumpkin pie mix and not have to add the spices? Both seem like the exact same thing, except with the spices already added in the pumpkin pie mix.
The two types of canned pumpkin that I'm referring to are Farmer's Market Organic Pumpkin Pie Mix and Farmer's Market Organic Pumpkin.
I will be baking the pumpkin before I boil. Also, would it be possible to boil the pumpkin in a large brewing bag to prevent all the trub or will that hinder the flavor infusion? Or will it just leak out of the brewing bag anyway?
