Notes

Sugar was actually 2 lbs of Turbinado sugar, not an option. Step mash, 122 for 20 minutes, 150 for 60 minutes. Pumpkin was peeled, shredded, cooked for 10 minutes, and added to mash at 122 to help raise it to 150. Added Pumpkin Pie spice 10 minutes before end of boil. Fermented in glass at 60-70 degrees for 28 days in primary and racked to keg for 7 days of secondary before chilling .
