Notes



Spices; Put 3/4 of the spice mix in boil, Put remaining in a tiny bit of vodka to make an extract sat for a week (Mikey was born!) (add to bottling bucket).

1) did 7gfuggles and 31g tettnang because i didn't have kent goldings Doh! Carb to 2.5 vols. tasted good at bottling! Finished at 1.016 as planned.. Note at bottling: should I take mash temp to 152 vice 154? Revisit once carved/aged..

Taste notes: under carbonated, crashed too long and need to adjust for 5.5 gallons beer vice 5.. All beers seem a bit undercarbbed. This beer is mediocre at best, lacks spiced character.. A lot of body and fermentation character. I guess I just maybe like dryer beers. Add more pumpkin and more spices, mash lower
