2 tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice 5 mins

Roast the pecans a couple days in advance. 300° F for 15 mins. crush and let sit in paper bag to soak up oils. Repeat a few times to help with head retention.

 

[Damoxemus]

Sounds tasty. Might be better off in the spiced/herb beer section though.

Just to confirm, all the pumpkin and pecan goes into the mash, yes?

How did this turn out?

 

[mmertz]

Both the pumpkin and the pecans when into the mash. It tasted great. Mild pumpkin flavor with a nutty finish.
