Base Recipe for Pumpkin

[yard_bird]

Greetings. It’s finally getting warm again which means I should start thinking about beers for fall. I’d like to give a go at a pumpkin beer this year and am curious about using an altbier as the base, likely dialing back the BU:OG. I like the idea of big malt character and caramelized squash.

Anything wrong with this idea? May actually brew a dopplesticke alt as the base depending on how I wake up brew day morning.

That sounds like a good idea to me.
