I posted this in Beginners Forum earlier, but thought I would post here as well. Certainly falls under both categories...sorry for double posting.
So, I have been wanting to do a Pumpkin Ale recipe for the past few weeks but have probably looked at TOO much info on here. There are so many good recipes that I have decided to try my hand at creating one on my own (this is my third batch ever, BTW). I want to be able get the "pumpkin ale taste" for sure. I am not sure what the gravity readings would be on this, either. Hoping for something in the ABV range of 6-8?
If y'all could weigh in on your thoughts, I would really appreciate it! Want to get this done by end of week!!
Pumpkin Ale
5 Gallon Extract Recipe
8.25 lb Pale LME (could use DME??)
.5 lb Crystal 60L
.25 lb Special Roast
.5 lb Biscuit Malt
60 oz Canned Pumpkin at 60 min (I have read all the opinions on canned v real pumpkins...can't find real ones now so going canned....is 60 minutes the right call? later in boil?)
1 oz Hallertau at 60 min
1 oz Hallertau at 5 min
Irish Moss at 15 min
1 lb Light Brown Sugar at 10 min
Spices at 5 min (1/2 tsp each of nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, allspice and clove...should I go more?)
Yeast: planning on 1056 as it is what I used in my first two batches....kinda scared to try another one for this brew. But how much yeast? Don't want to do starter yet, either. One pkg enough?
I plan to run wort through sieve into fermenter.
Planning to taste prior to secondary and add more spices and/or some vanilla.
Anyone care to take a stab at whether or not this sounds ok?
Thanks so much!!
