This is a New England style pumpkin ale. Nice spice, good pumpkin flavor. I usually add some additional whole spices to a hop bag and add to fermenter for more spice. Depends on you taste preference

Notes

Skin and cube one medium sugar pumpkin (kind used for pies) Sprinkle with brown sugar and roast at 350 for 45 minutes. Steep specialty grains and pumpkin at 150 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from steeping liquid. Pumpkin can be put in a grain bag and added back to wort for the last 10 minutes of boil, then add to fermenter, this will add more pumkin flavor, but make racking a pain. Add spices with 10 minutes left in the boil
