I have a pumpkin pie ale in the primary now. I did not use any actual pumpkin for the recipe, just some spices in addition to the ususal ingredients. Probably about time to transfer it to secondary, and I have been thinking that it just feels wrong to do one of these beers without using any pumpkin. I've looked around and can't seem to find anyone who has put pumpkin in the secondary with the beer. Does anyone have any experience with this? I know it's common with fruit, but will the pumpkin actually contribute anything to the beer at this point? Could it hurt anything?
