Notes
Ingredients - also included 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. I'd mix my own spices of nutmeg, allspice, mace, cinnamon and maybe ginger for more control. 1. Steep grain with 1 gal water at 150degrees for 30 minutes. 2. Sparge with 1 gal water at 170 degrees. 3. Add water to bring to total 4 gal. Bring to boil. 4. Add in extract, maltodextrin, and hops. 5. Boil 30 minutes. 6. Add in pumpkin. 7. Boil 15 minutes. 8. Add in spices and vanilla extract. 9. Boil 15 minutes. 10. Cool, place in primary with enough water for 5.5 gal, aerate, drop yeast. 11. Wait 1-2 weeks - rack into seconday. 12. Wait 2-3 weeks - keg 13. Wait until done - Drink! Current Batch Notes: At step 10, SG = 1.075 At step 11, SG = 1.025

Great holiday brew

This one turned out absolutely great. The aroma and taste are in perfect balance. I didn't want an overpowering spice taste and it worked. The color is also a light pumpkin with very nice head retention. I will be making this one on a regular basis.
