Hey everyone, so I've decided finally on what I want my next beer to be. I saw pie pumpkins sitting at Wegman's and decided that they would be sacrificed at the altar of malt and hops!
I've modified Jamil's pumpkin ale recipe to be partial-mash. This is so I can use real pumpkin and get some real grain flavor, as well as avoid buying 3 containers of malt extract.
I will mash the pumpkin, 2-row, and specialty grains for 90 minutes, then I aim to sparge it with enough water to bring the full amount to a boil - or is that not a good idea (this is the only thing I'm unsure of at this point).
Will be going to the LHBS tomorrow to pick up the ingredients, plus another fermenter, airlock, and some thermometers.
Here's the stats:
