Notes

Add pumpkin puree during main boil, just after steeping. Add spices at the end of the boil, steep for 15 minutes (DO NOT BOIL). Also possible to take a small sanitized pot with the spices to the side at the end of the boil to steep separately while you chill your wort. Strain and add back into wort before fermenting. This will leave very fresh and clean spice flavors, boiling them will dull them out. I plan on running this batch in a fermzilla at 10psi then coldcrashing for 2 days before bottling. This recipe was taken from "How to Brew" by John J Palmer. Should be a good one!
