or any pumpkin ale for that matter. I have been adding bits and pieces from others recipes and some from brewers of this style. Below I have a recipe that is supposed to be close to DFH Punkin ale. I want it a bit higher abv... something like 9%. Aiming for 1.090 SG. I am only on my 3rd AG batch. I added some extra fermentables as well as hops to balance, which i have NO clue if it will balance. Anyone have anything to check if it will? Or does this recipe look unbalanced?
This is what the recipe maker said:
I put the pumkin right in the mash. I have been developing this recipe around my favorite pumpkin beer - dogfish punkin - and I think it is VERY close
Dogfish Head Punkin Ale Clone Recipe
Ingredients:
10 lbs pale 2 row malt - Ill add 5 lbs (15 total, to increase abv and i suck at efficiency so this may help)
1 lbs Special Roast (adding another pound total 2, using caramel malt?? like pumking)
1 lbs Crystal 60
2-large cans libbys pumpkin - in the mash (ill throw another small can in boil)
1 lbs brown sugar - 60 min (ill add a half pound more 1.5 total)
1 ounces Hallertauer - 60 min (add magnum .5 oz hop used in pumking)
1 1/2 TBS PUMPKIN PIE SPICE, boil 15 minutes (is this too much? others use 2 TSP not TBS)
1 tablet of whirlfloc 15 minutes (is this needed?)
1 oz. Hallertauer finishing 5 minutes (add sterling .5 oz hop used in pumking)
Wyeast American ale yeast (need stronger yeast?)
Procedure:
Shooting for an OG of around 1.070 or so. (want mine near 1.090)
Thanks all.
