Pumpkin Porter Recipe Feedback

[ZacAtakke]

I'm looking to brew a pumpkin porter next week and was hoping to get some feedback on the recipe. This is modified from the one in "Extreme Brewing" to be all grain, as well as adjusting a bit to taste. But as I don't have much experience building my own recipes I would really appreciate some feedback.

I did my 1st pumpkin ale last sat. Ur recipe looks pretty good to me. I added roasted canned pumpkin after the heat break in the boil. Final product came with A lot of pumkin into the fermenter. 8 think I will try it with just spices next time. Although, I havnt tried it yet, so maybe not. Lol
Pumpkin porter does sound very good! Good luck and cheers

Recipe looks solid. Mine is in bottle for another 2wks. I used baked canned pumpkin, spices, brown sugar molasses among other stuff. Good luck.
