Pumpkin Ale

Description
This one also came from George at Home Sweet Home Brew.
Recipe
Grain bill:
  • 6 lbs. 10 oz. Canned Pumpkin
  • 1 lb. Extra Special (Breiss)
  • 1 lb. 2-Row Pilsen (Harrington)
Extracts:
  • 6.6 lbs. Northwestern Gold
Hops:
  • 1 oz. Tradition Hallertau (4.6%) (60 min.)
  • 3 Tbs. Pie Spice (15 min.)
Yeast:
  • Dry Ale Yeast (Safale S-04)
Notes:
The pumpkin gets steeped in its own cheese cloth at the same time as the rest of the grains.
When I made this one, I didn't have enough premixed pie spices, so I used equal parts cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. I do NOT recommend this. Nutmeg is stronger than the other spices, and it's probably best to use the ratio that are used in the premixed pie spice containers (whatever that may be).
