Im looking to brew my first pumpkin ale this weekend. I borrowed the grain bill from "The Perfect Pumpkin" recipe but want to changed the spice/hop additions to suit my setup and tastes. Here's what I came up with for a 5 gallon batch...
Grain bill
7 lb Maris Otter
3 lb Light Munich
2 lb Aromatic malt
1 lb Caramunich malt (39L)
Combine and roast till caramelized
3lb Canned pumpkin
6oz Brown Sugar
1tsp McCormick's Pumpkin Pie spice blend
Mash (BIAB) grains and pumpkin for 1hr at 154
1oz Chinook (13.8) @60m
1oz Saaz (3.9) @10m
1tsp McCormick's Pumpkin Pie spice blend @10m
US-04
Ferment +/-14d
Bottle Condition
5oz Corn sugar
1tsp vanilla extract
I feel like I am a little light on the pumpkin and the spice but everything I read said go easy and make adjustments in the secondary if necessary. I only use a primary and I bottle condition so my opportunity to make any adjustments would be to include them when I heat up my priming sugar. For what it is worth, I plan to let this batch bottle condition for 4-6weeks.
