Hey everyone, I'm attempting my first pumpkin spice ale. Im keeping the spices mild in the boil because im planning on doing a spice tea right before bottling...I'm also still considering adding a few cans of baked pumpkin to the boil. My main concern however is the brown sugar, I'm not sure i want to dry it out THAT much. What do you guys think?
