This will be my first attempt at a pumpkin ale for the pumpkin part I plain on taking 64 oz of puréed pumpkin spreading it on a baking sheet baking it at 325 till it browns a little maybe 45 min then placing that in a mesh bag with 2# of 2 row malt and the chocolate malt and steeping for an hour then adding this water to boil.
I would like somewhat of the color to be a pumpkin orange rather than an amber am I going to accomplish this with this recipe how could I if I am not going to?
Is the bitterness right could I stand to increase the IBUs?
Also what are fellow brewers favorite ways to clear beer Irish moss or other means such as additives?
