waiting for my pumpkin to boil....

[smthgfshy]

I'm bored. I'm in the middle of making a pumpkin beer and have 50 min left on the boil. Here's the recipe...

8 lb Pale LME
2.5 lb 2-row
1 lb Crystal 20
.5 lb Biscuit
.5 Carapils
.5 Munich 20
.25 Flaked Oats
.5 Dark Brown Sugar
60 oz pumpkin puree
1tsp allspice
1 tsp clove
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp nutmeg
4 oz vanilla extract
2 tbs pumpkin pie spice
2 whirlfloc tabs

1 oz Magnum
.5 oz Saaz

WLP005 - British Ale

I've been 'steeping' 4-5 lbs of grain for 60-90min on all my batches and adding LME/DME to that. This will be my 9th batch...here's what else I've brewed...

Imperial Red Rye Ale - a la Bear Republic
Belgian IPA - a la Houblen Chouffe
Amber - a la Levitation
Saison
Rye Pale Ale - a la Terrapin
Dunkel - a la Weihenstephaner
Blueberry Wit
DIPA

The Red, Belgian IPA, Amber, and Pale have turned out the best so far. Next up,......a Black IPA ala Hop in the Dark.

Happy fall brewing!!!

When did you add the pumpkin

during the boil.

I spread it on a cookie sheet and baked it for 45 min at 375F while the grains were steeping. It had a nice dark golden crust on it when I took it out. I sprinkled it with a tsp of pumpkin pie spice while it was roasting. The wort is cooling now.....
