Beer Profile
Est Original Gravity: 1.059
Est Final Gravity: 1.015 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 5.9%
Bitterness: 27.0 IBUs
Est Color: 13.0 SRM
Mash Profile
Mash Name: Single Infusion, Light Body, No Mash Out Total Grain Weight: 11 lbs 12.8 oz
Sparge Water: 3.71 gal Grain Temperature: 72.0 F
Sparge Temperature: 172.0 F Tun Temperature: 72.0 F
Adjust Temp for Equipment: TRUE Mash PH: 5.20
I do not know the spice profile yet, It is written on last year's recipe card at home. I made notes on what to adjust. Mostly, it's allspice, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and cloves.
I bittered last years with magnum and it worked great for a single hop addition. It was a touch more bitter than I had hoped, so I reduced the magnum and split the charge with Cascade to get a little spice out of the hops.
The base here is a high gravity Amber Ale on the low IBU end with higher ABV and middle color. The pumpkin is going in the boil since A. I don't want lautering problems, and B. I experimented last year and I found that you get almost no conversion from the starches and the pumpkin in the boil imparts PLENTY of flavor for me.
