I could not find a recipe for this, so I'm basically taking my stout recipe and my pumpkin ale recipe and putting the relevant pieces together...
Question is: will this work?
6 2/3 lbs. Dark Malt Extract
2 lbs. Dark Dry Malt Extract
1 lb. Crystal Malt
1/2 lb. Roasted Barley
1/2 lb. Black Patent Malt
1 1/2 oz. Cascade Hops
1/2 oz. Hallertauer Hops
2 Teaspoons Gypsum
1 pkg. Irish Ale Yeast
8lbs. Whole Pumpkin
Pumpkin Pie spice
Cinnamon Sticks
Nutmeg
Allspice
Everything basically runs like a normal brew, except the cooked, cubed, mashed pumpkin and spices are boiled in cheese cloth bags for the duration of the boil.
Doing this for my Pumpkin Ale yields my best homebrew, I'm just wondering if adding that step into a stout would make an excellent Pumpkin Stout?
Oh, and thoughts on having the primary, secondary, bottling last nearly a year, opening the first bottle Oct. 1, 2009?
