OG 1.083 on a 10 gal batch.
27.25 lbs pilsner
9.6 oz aromatic
9.6 oz biscuit
9.6 oz munich 20
2 lbs sugar
2 pie pumpkins, roasted in oven and the meat mashed with the grains.
90 min mash at 149.
Hops were tettnang, willamette and saaz. I called 47 IBUs but I know I'll lose some in the process so I'm hoping for 35 when all is said and done.
Spices: I tsp of a pumpkin pie powdered spice mix (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, allspice). Wanted it subtle. Added to the brew kettle. On bottling day there will be a spice tea made so that the liquid to be bottled can be further spiced (to taste) if need be.
Yeast: WLP530. My first time using this yeast. Made a big starter and holding the primary steady at 65 degrees. Looks like a voracious yeast!
Can't wait to finish this one - brewing it filled the neighborhood with the smell of pumpkin pie. Fall is in the air.
Corsendonk was the inspiration for this one, their pale ale or the tripel, whatever they call it these days. Used no orange or coriander in this one as I don't see coriander going well with the pumpkin spices. The orange may be a good addition and perhaps there will be some added to this mix.
