I have been brewing extracts for almost a year and just recently got interested in the Partial Mash side of things. I built a 3 gallon mash/Lauter tun using info on this forum.
I want to make a pumpkin ale for the fall and figure this will be a good time to use my new Partial Mash equipment now that I have made the mods to the cooler.
I am looking to do something pretty similar to RichBrewers Pumpkin Ale recipe at this link https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=23489 . Please provide any constructive criticism you might have.
Here's the recipe that I am currently imagining (using the tastybrew.com recipe calculator):
Stats
OG 1.059
FG 1.015
IBU 25
ABV 5.7 %
SRM 10
Specifics
Boil Volume 3.0 gallons
Batch Size 5.0 gallons
Yeast 75% AA
Fermentables
3.50 lbs American Two-row Pale
2.00 lbs Munich Light
0.50 lbs Crystal 40L
3.00 lbs Amber Dry Malt Extract
Hops
0.50 oz Northern Brewer Pellet 60 min
0.50 oz Amarillo Pellet 15 min
0.50 oz Amarillo Pellet 5 min
Extras (added to boil)
3 lbs Canned Pumpkin 60 min
2.5 Tsp Cinnamon 10 min
1.5 Tsp Nutmeg 10 min
1.5 Tsp Allspice 10 min
1 Tsp Irish Moss 15 min
Yeast
Wyeast 1056 American Ale
My preference would be to do 1 week in primary. 2 weeks in secondary. 3 weeks in bottle.
What do you guys think?
Thanks!
