I am going to make the pumpkin pie spiced ale recipe below this weekend, I do have a couple of questions that would appreciate any advise from more experienced brewers.
1. It's a pumpkin spiced ale I want to put some pumpkin in it, I was
thinking about 3 lbs. of Libby's all natural pumpkin. I would bake it
at 350* for 60 minutes, now do I pure the pumpkin and let it cool to
room temperature before putting in the mash tun?
2. I am considering making it a chocolate pumpkin spiced ale, would a
1 lb. addition of chocolate malt and 4 oz. of unsweetened chocolate
work ok?
Thanks in advance, I would appreciate any advise!!
