I cringe to post this since so many Pumpkin Ale recipe questions have been asked lately...but what the hell, I'm gonna do it anyway!
Has anyone brewed or tried the Pumpkin Spice Ale recipe in Jamil and Palmer's Brewing Classic Styles? How did you like it? I am thinking about brewing it this weekend and using the real pumpkin option. I'll still probably use 11 lbs. of 2-row because I don't expect that great of efficiency and I'll add some rice hulls to make sure I don't get a stuck sparge.
Grains
11 lbs. 2-row
.5 lbs. Aromatic
.5 lbs. Crystal 40
.5 lbs. Crystal 120
.25 lbs. Special roast
Hops
1.2 oz Kent Goldings 5%
Spices
.5 t. Cinnamon (1 min.)
.25 t. Ginger (1 min.)
.125 t. Nutmeg (1 min.)
.125 t. Allspice (1 min.)
If you want to use real pumpkin, which is recommended, use 9 lb. 2-row and 5 lbs. roasted (@330 F) pie pumpkin. 90 min rest to ensure conversion in pumpkin.
