I'm trying to come up with a pumpkin ale recipe and here's what I got so far for a 5 gallon batch. I only want to make a half a batch. Is it safe to just cut everything in half, or do I have to consider other things? What about the yeast? Do I still use a whole package?
7 lb Amber LME
.5 lb Cara-pils/Dextrine
.5 lb Caramel Malt - 60L
1 oz Hallertauer 45 minutes
.5 oz Cascade 2 minutes
.5 tsp cloves
.5 tsp ginger
.5 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup brown sugar
1 package Wyeast 1056
5lb pumpkin
Spices will be added at the end of the boil. Pumpkin and grains will be steeped prior to boil.
I want to make 2.5 gallons of beer so I'm not drinking pumpkin ale in spring.
