Notes

Spiced pumpkin ale.

Get 3-6 # of pumpkin, cut up the gourd, and roast the pieces until soft and cooked through. peel the gourd and mash the cook flesh with the grains for 1 hour. I suggest putting the pumpkin in a muslin bag to minimize clean up.

Sweet Potatoes or other squash like butternut or acorn can be substituted for pumpkin if it is not in season, the vegetable is going to provide the earthiness to the ale and the pumpkin pie spice added in whirlpool does all the heavy lifting for this beer.

If you need to up the spice level after fermentation, you can make a tincture with 3-4oz of vodka or everclear, and a cinnamon stick, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp cloves, and 1/4 tsp all spice. Let that sit for a week to extract the spices and mix in at kegging/bottling time.
