AHS Pumpkin Ale mini-mash

[unfnole23]

I plan on brewing the AHS Pumpkin Ale this week and wondering if anyone has any suggestions on additions to enhance flavor for this brew ( in the secondary)? Also I've meant to brew this 3 times the past two weeks but something came up. Each time the liquid yeast has come out of the fridge for a night only to go back in the next day. This shouldn't have adverse effects of yeast performance will it?

I just did this brew a while back, i doubled up on the spices in the boil and IMO it still wasnt enough

I brewed this a few weeks back. Added a can of pumpkin to it to try to increase the pumpkin taste. Didnt add much. I think adding more pumpkin pie spices (stuff you would find in the spice area at the grocery store) would add more pumpkin flavor to the beer.

So there shouldn't be any adverse effects to yeast performance by cooling and warming?

+1 I found the spices with the kit were not potent enough. I did the AG version and mashed with 3 cans of pure pumpkin.

The yeast should be fine.

I did the mini mash and added 3 cans of pumpkin. The next one I do I will step up the pumpkin and the spices as they did not come through as much as I had hoped.
