SWMBO has requested a pumpkin ale for my next brew, and I've been checking out a handful of recipes on this site for ideas.
Not having checked the local grocery stores yet, I'm not sure how good my chances are going to be to find canned pumpkin or canned pumpkin pie filling - I know finding pumpkin around this time last summer when my buddy brewed up a batch was a PITA.
Anyway, if I come across only pumpkin pie filling or I come across both, can anyone tell me from experience if it's better to use canned pumpkin and adding spices or simply using pumpkin pie filling (which I'm assuming already has the spices mixed in)?
