WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Pumpkin was baked at 350 for 60 mins, cooled, and then steeped with specialty grains between 150-155 for 60 minutes.

Sparged with 1 gallon of 170 water.

OG was 1.07 and FG 1.012. Not sure if steeping efficiency > 35% and/or pumpkin added some PPG.

Beer was good but a little too spicey. Would recommend cutting down on Nutmeg and Allspice. Also, steep grains for no more than 30 minutes.
