Tasting Notes
Tart, spice subtle, hoppy, very clean taste...
6.8% ABV
6 SRM (way darker due to pumpkin)

10.50 LB Golden Light LME (Boil)
0.50 LB Carapils/Dextrin Malt (Mash)
0.25 LB Caramel 60L Malt (Mash)
0.25 LB Munich Malt (Mash)
0.25 LB Victory Malt (Mash)
0.25 LB Amber/Brown Malt (Mash)
0.25 LB Wheat Malt (Mash)

3.75 LB (60 oz) Canned Pumpkin (Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin) Cooked @ 350F for 30 Minutes (or 375F for 60 Minutes for more caramel flavour) (Mash)

1.5 oz Goldings (US) Hops 5.7% AA @ 60 Min
1.5 oz Goldings (US) Hops 5.7% AA @ 5 Min

1 tsp Irish Moss 10 Min (rehydrate at 20 Min)

1 PKG Nottingham Ale Yeast

1 tsp Cinnamon (ground) @ 1 min
1/2 tsp Nutmeg (ground) @ 1 Min
1/4 tsp Ginger (ground) @ 1 Min
1/8 tsp Cloves (ground) @ 1 Min

12 tbsp Brown Sugar to prime
(I used regular dextrose because I forgot and it turned out great but I think the brown sugar will compliment the flavors)

Mash grains with cooked pumpkin for 60 Minutes at 155F in 3 Liters (qts) of water. Stir every 15 minutes. Strain when adding to boil with Golden LME.

Add Hops at 60 and 5 minutes and then add spices at 1 Minute to avoid boil-off of flavours and tastes.
