Hello,
During my most recent brew day, my daughter broke the hydrometer, hence no way to measure OG. I bought a new hydrometer and took FG and I have a recipe which I modified and am wondering if anyone can help guestimate based on ingredients.
I used the Smashing Pumpkin recipe from Northern Brewer as my starting point:

which has an estimated OG of 1.054. Here's what my recipe was:
6 lb. DME amber
3 lb. DME light
1 lb. Briess caramel
2 oz. cluster hops
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
24 oz. canned pumpkin
Safale US dry yeast
I steeped the canned pumpkin and Briess for 45 minutes, boiled DME amber and hopes for 60 minutes, added DME light at 30 minutes, spice at end, cooled and pitched. FG was 1.016
Thanks for any help!
Cheers,
Nathan
