So I made a Honey oatmeal cream stout a couple months ago and it was the best beer i've brewed so far. I decided I wanted to brew it again but this time with pumpkin for a nice fall beer. I've searched a couple forums about how and when to add the pumpkin and spices, but not for a stout. Also with this being a honey oatmeal cream stout I think that the pumpkin and spice flavor might get masked if I just put the normal amount of spices in. Any suggestions on when and how much pumpkin and spices would be greatly appreciated. I planned on using canned organic pumpkin purree because I cant get real pumpkins right now. Here is the recipe I will use:
6.6 lbs dark malt syrup
1 pint honey
1 lb flaked oatmeal
4 oz lactose
8 oz 40L crystal malt
8 oz 60L crystal malt
8 oz roasted barley
8 oz chocolate malt
2 oz black patent malt
1 oz columbus hops
