I am wanting to make a pumpkin pie beer for the holidays I have a base recipe I am going to use. I was wondering how much pumpkin pie spice you guys add to a 5 gal batch
 
1 tablespoon is fine for my tastebuds but I have seen up to 3 tablespoons and as little as 1 teaspoon. One of those 'take good notes before and after' to dial in your recipe kind of thing. But starting low never hurt anyone.
 
Brewed a large pumpkin ale recently...extrapolating for 5 gallons would put the spice level at 0.25tsp cinnamon, 0.5tsp nutmeg, 0.5tsp allspice. It may look low, but its enough to just detect the spices without being overwhelmed, imo. Tasted decent on the transfer to secondary but I haven't kegged it yet.
