Tis the season to be brewing up some nice fall themed beer! I'm going to be trying my first Pumpkin Ale this week (probably Tuesday since I don't have enough dry malt extract to get my yeast starter going tonight). Anyway, I wanted some input from you guys who have made pumpkin beers before about my recipe. Please let me know what you think!
6 Gallon Batch, ~80% efficiency
Grain
10.2 lbs 2-Row
1 lbs Crystal 60L
0.5 lbs Special Roast
1 lbs Brown Sugar (in the boil at 60 mins)
Hops
1 oz Northern Brewer 60 mins
1 oz Fuggles 15 mins
Special Ingredients
1 tbs of Pumpkin Pie Spice at 5 mins and another 0.5 tbs of Pumpkin Pie Spice at 0 mins
2 8 oz Cans of Organic Pure Pumpkin Puree in the Mash Tun with 0.5 lbs of Rice Hulls
Yeast WLP002 English Ale
I collected 7.5 gallons of wort for a Pre-boil gravity of 1.052 and ended up with 6.25 gallons after the boil with a gravity of 1.059
I think next time a 75 min boil would be helpful to hit my target gravity a little closer
