This might be a newb question but here goes:
I used an entire container full (~1 ounce) of McCormicks Pumpkin Pie spice at flameout in my pumpkin ale. It was roughly 10 gallon batch. Its been about 4 weeks and I cant tell whether it is too much spice or not enough honestly, it does have some weird off flavor I cant describe, kind of bitter but not hops bitter if that makes sense.
I've seen recommendations on here from 1tsp per gallon to 1 tsp per 5 gallon batch. What should my beer taste like? FYI OG was 1.064, FG was 1.010 (7.1%) and my grain/hops bill was as follows:
Amount Item Type % or IBU
2.50 lb Light Dry Extract (8.0 SRM) Dry Extract 12.35 %
7.00 lb Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 34.57 %
5.00 lb Munich Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM) Grain 24.69 %
2.08 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain 10.29 %
1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM) Grain 4.94 %
0.67 lb Wheat, Flaked (1.6 SRM) Grain 3.29 %
3.00 oz Hallertauer Hersbrucker [6.20 %] (60 min)Hops 30.3 IBU

1.00 oz Pumpkin Pie Spice (Boil 0.0 min) Misc
