Mashing now, decided to go with a pumpkin ale. I love pumpkin beer so much and it is the season, soooooo. This is probably my last for a while, it will give me a total of 40gals of beer in fermenters or kegs, none even tasted yet. I decided to change up my last pumpkin recipe, this one is pretty different:
