First off, I'm new around here and have learned allot from lurking around. I've done a couple simple extract kits but want try something original.
Now for the beer. I love pumpkin beers but usually they are either don't have enough spice or are too light w/ no malt taste. I'm looking for a sweet malt taste w/ allot of spice and just enough bitterness for balance. I've got no idea what the OG or FG will be any pointers on this will be appreciated. So here is my first shot at a recipe.
Any comments appreciated.
Type: Mini-Mash
Batch Size: 5gal
30oz Canned Pumpkin
Grains:
2.5 Lbs Rahr 2-row
1 Lbs Honey Malt
.5 lbs Munich
Extract:
4 Lbs Ultralight LME
Hops:
1oz Mt. Hood 60min 4%AA
Spices:
2 tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice - 15min
Yeast:
Saflager W-34
That's the basic Recipe. I plan the roast the pumpkin and add it to the boil. I'll try to strain the wort to minimize the trub in the primary.
