Notes
Alternate Facts is a single hop imperial pumpkin ale using much of the same mash bill as my Altbier, subbing in Peasant 2 row for pilsner, pulling some darker malts for rye and Redx.
Plan is to bake 2.2# of fresh pumpkin for the mash. This plus the rye means lots of rice hulls. Also mashing in 7.7 ounces of toasted pumpkin seeds. They impart nut, earthy like flavor that should go well with a moderate rye addition.
Some home grown hops will also go in the 15 minute addition.
Will probably go with neutral ale yeast for this.
