Pumpkin Ale

[dr_rob]

First brew since I registered on here, hope it goes well!

4kg Pale malt
150g crystal
70g torrified wheat
2.1kg pumpkin (1.4kg after roasting for 35 mins)

Mashed at 67C for 90 mins.

Haven't decided on hops yet (off to search the freezer!), but prob Target or Nugget for bittering and willamette for aroma.
Cinnamon stick (half), half tsp of allspice,half tsp ginger, half tsp nutmeg, 3 cloves. In last 10 mins of boil.

Complete experiment, fingers crossed!

Sounds fine. Hope it goes well for you. I'm planning a pumpkin beer next week, hopefully the supermarkets will be selling off the fruit by then.

First pint out of the cask!
Soft fruits aroma, bit of clove/cinnamon and a sweetness I can't quite place, not great condition though, think it needed more sugar for priming!
