I wanted to make a Pumpkin beer with two small pie pumpkins I bought from the farmers market (1$ each!!). This one is for Eric's thesis defense, who inspired the idea.
Grain Bill:
4 lbs Maris Otter
5 lbs 2 Row
4 oz CaraMunich 60L
2 lbs + 6 oz Roasted Pumpkin (1.5 hr in oven at 250F)
Mash:
147F initial for 20 min
2.5 Liter Decoction to boil
149F additional 30 min
Hops:
0.5 oz Magnum 60 min
Spices @ 20 min:
2 cinnamon sticks
30 cloves
2 tsp Nutmeg (1/2 fresh and 1/2 powder)
2.5 tsp ground ginger
OG 1.050
Mild spices, the Pumpkin really shows.
ReplyDeleteAlcohol is low, body is a little thin (it's sorta like a sessional).
Taste is sweet-ish, but it is pretty dry (not sure how).
Very low bitterness.
Extremely easy to drink, and would definitely brew again.
