Ya, I see AG recipes putting it in the mash, but extract putting it in the boil. Mine was an extract, so I figured why not add some at the beginning and some later on.
Now it sounds like add everything at 5 minutes or flame out for best flavors.
Damn, wish I read this earlier.
I did smell awesome during boil and tasted like sweet pumpkin pie going into primary. Would this be true for the pumpkin as well?
This is my first Pumpkin/Spiced Ale.
Bottled my pumpkin ale last night and I'm concerned with the flavor. It seems that all the spice and pumpkin flavor has disappeared and I'm left with a lightly bitter but strong amber ale.
Is it possible for all of this to settle out? Or will the flavors...
