After reading all of the pumpkin ale recipes on the board I decided to try one of my own. This first started out as Samuel Smiths Winter Welcome clone(was looking to do a winter\christmas ale) but I decided to modify it to a pumpkin ale.
3/4 lbs. Crystal 60L
1/2 lbs. Crystal 20L
4 oz. Choc Malt
10 lbs. Pale LME
6 lbs. Pumpkin(mash)
14 oz. BrewVint Alch Boost(corn sugar)
1 1/2 oz. Kent Goldings(6.0 AA)(60 min)
1/2 oz. Kent Goldings(6.0 AA)(15 min)
1/2 oz. Fuggle(4.2 AA)(15 min)
1 oz. Kent Goldings(6.0 AA)(5 min)
2 Cinnamon Sticks(50 min)
1.5 tsp. nutmeg(10 min)
1.5 tsp. allspice(10 min)
2 tsp. cinnamon(10 min)
1 oz. fresh ginger(10 min)
Yeast White Labs Irish Ale
Baked pumpkin(sprinkled with Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Giner and AllSpice) for 50 min at 350 degrees. Steeped grains at 155-160 deg for 30 min. Sparged with 1/2 gallon water at 160 degrees. Brought to boil. Added pumpkin, malt and corn sugar.
I topped of to almost 6 gallons in the primary. When racking to the secondary I only got about 4 1/4 gallons. It was a ton of trub. I was worried because when I boiled it I did not really smell anything resembling pumpkin pie(which alot of people have said they did), but after tasteing some I captured racking to the secondary it was quite good and had a distinct pumpkin taste.
