Hey guys it's fall and my first shot at pumpkin ale didn't go all that well. It's finished and carbed in the keg and now I am faced with a dilemma. It seems to have little pumpkin or spice flavor. Overall it's a decent brew, but you really have to reach to taste any of the things I added (pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, sweet orange peel).
I'm trying to decide between waiting and hoping stuff pops more with age, adding spices to keg, or just saying F it and call it a "harvest" ale. It was brewed on August 21st.
I have a party where it needs to be served in 2 weeks. Any suggestions?
