I'm going to my LHBS tomorrow to pick up ingredients for a pumpkin stout. The recipe I worked out is loosely based on my bourbon porter recipe.
Malt:
6# pale malt extract (syrup)
1# chocolate malt
1# roasted barley
1# crystal malt (120L)
Hops:
Nugget (1 oz, 60 min)
Fuggles (1 oz, 5 min)
So that's the stout recipe I've got worked out. I'm unsure on the quantity of pumpkin and spices to use. I was thinking a 5-6lb pumpkin, but I pulled that out of my ass, so I could be way off. I have no idea how much I need to use in terms of spices, as I've never done a beer with any kind of spice content before. Any feedback would be very much appreciated.
