This isn't a recipe I'm making from scratch but it is the first time i'm doing any real modifications. It's basically the recipe from MW for their pumpkin ale but with 3.3 lbs of Gold LME added, doubling the spices, doubling the recommended amount of pumpkin and adding in an ounce of allspice. Anything i should consider adding, or maybe not doing would be great. Looking to order by the end of the week because I'd like to have it stay a bit longer in the secondary and a good amount of time in the bottles before serving. (this was done in the Brew Pal iphone app, that's where the estimated gravity, etc is coming from, tried to make their export as readable on here as possible.)

Thanks everyone in advance.
