Notes: Gordon Strong’s traditional amber spiced pumpkin ale
5 gallons/19 L, extract with grains
OG = 1.054 FG = 1.014
IBU = 15 SRM = 14 ABV = 5.4%

Ingredients
6 lbs. (2.7 kg) amber liquid malt extract
12 oz. (340 g) caramel malt (20 °L)
6 oz. (170 g) brown malt
2 oz. (57 g) chocolate malt
8 oz. (227 g) brown sugar
3 oz. (85 g) light molasses
9 lbs. (4.1 kg) canned pumpkin puree (plain, unspiced)
6 cinnamon sticks, broken up
1.5 Tbsp. crystalized ginger, chopped
1 whole nutmeg, chopped
10 dried allspice berries, crushed
0.25 tsp. ground mace
4.1 AAU UK Goldings hops (60 min.) (0.7 oz./20 g at 5.9% alpha acids)
Wyeast 1272 (American Ale II), White Labs WLP051 (California Ale V), or Mangrove Jack’s M36 (Liberty Bell Ale) yeast
3⁄4 cup corn sugar (if priming)

Step by Step
Prepare the pumpkin (can be done the night before brewing) by removing from cans and putting into a large baking dish. Roast in a 400 °F (204 °C) oven for about one hour, stirring every 15 minutes, until fairly dry and caramelized but not burned. Put in a fine mesh bag. If prepared the night before, allow to cool, cover, and refrigerate until brew day. Remove from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature before using.

Prepare spices and place them in a fine mesh bag.

Use 6 gallons (23 L) of water in the brew kettle; heat to 158 °F (70 °C). Place the pumpkin (still in the mesh bag), and the caramel, brown, and chocolate malts in another mesh bag, and steep in the hot water for 30 minutes. Remove the mesh bags, then turn the heat off.

Add the liquid malt extract and stir thoroughly to dissolve the extract completely. You do not want to feel liquid extract at the bottom of the kettle when stirring with your spoon. Put the pumpkin mesh bag back in, turn the heat back on and bring to a boil. Once a boil is reached, remove the pumpkin, allowing liquid to drip back into the kettle. Boil the wort for 60 minutes, adding the hops at the time indicated in the recipe. Add the sugar and molasses with 15 minutes left in the boil.

Follow the remainder of the all-grain recipe.

Notes: Whirlpool: If you can drop your whirlpool temperature to about 170°F (77°C), it does great things for the hop aroma in this beer. The cooler whirlpool preserves more of the volatile oils in the hops, to stay in the wort and thus in the finished beer.

Dry Hop: Add just prior to terminal to avoid oxygen ingress. Once added, drop temp to 60° F for 2 days , the cold crash to 35° for 48 hours. Then keg or package (and drink!).

Notes: Used Pilsner malt for high diastatic power. Special B was used to contribute color as well as raisin, caramel, and dark fruit notes described in BJCP guidelines. Additionally, the use of Belgian candi syrup will add more extract to the wort and contribute to final color. Lactic acid and gypsum are added in the mash to lower pH to optimal range. Late additions of Saaz and Fuggle hops for spicy, peppery aromatics, with mild fruit notes. Wyeast 1762 used for subtle dry fruit esters at 1.25m cells/mL.
