Hello! I have recently kegged my pumpkin beer. I spiced in the keg with a cinnamon plus (which has cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice) and vanilla beans tincture. Tastes really good, not overspiced thank goodness. The issue is that I would say the flavor is more apple pie than pumpkin pie. Now, I am a TERRIBLE chef and really don't know what different flavors/spices taste like, so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction as to what spice I should add to tip the balance back towards pumpkin pie rather than apple pie. Just to clarify, I don't taste actual apples/acetaldehyde. It is just that the spice blend is too strong on the cinnamon maybe? If anyone knows what a "typical apple pie spice" vs a "typical pumpkin pie spice" difference would be, maybe I can balance it out. More nutmeg? Ginger? Allspice? Ghost peppers haha? Thanks in advance!
