Pumpkin Ale Recipe

[Deathblooms8788]

I recently found this recipe and I was wondering what people thought. I want a little more hop character for it and was thinking about using different hops or maybe some in the middle of the boil. Any thoughts?


Grain: 0.5 lb American 20L Crystal
0.5 lb Dark German Munich
Extract: 7lbs Golden LME
Hops: 1oz German Tettnanger
Yeast: Wyeast 1056
Pumpkin: 4-5 lbs (a medium sized pumpkin) baked and pureed
Sugar: 1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
Vanilla: 1 tsp vanilla extract
Spice Mix (you will use 1 tbs of this):
2 tsp ground Cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
0.5 tsp ground cloves
0.5 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp all spice
Half Whirlfoc tablet or equal Iris Moss

Why not?,Smuttynose did it- I thought it worked decent with theirs. I would skip the white sugar. You probably have to be more particular with what hops you use for litle hoppier pumpkin ale.
