Boil done. Remove hops at flame out. Squeezed bag. Chilled down with pumpkin bags in pot. Removed bags and squeezed when wort reached 68. Left recirculator on for 5 min after wort reached 68. Let wort sit for 20 min after turning recirc off to let spices settle: |

Tastes too boozy. Need to balance with more pumpkin and spices. I haven’t added secondary pumpkin yet |

Originally tasted too hot. As the sample warms I’m gett more toasted graham cracker notes. Would like more body and spices. I added 1/4 the original spice bill and am adding a double baked pie oumpkin |

Tasted after it's been carbonated. needs at least 1/4 more of the original spice bill. Need to reduce dark colors. Beer is dark orange, bordering on brown. Use less dark malt next time. Could definately stand cutting down the the graham cracker a little; perhaps by reducing dark malt.
I'm very happy with the pumpkin flavor that came through. I wouldn't change anything with that. The dry pumpkining was important in the final pumpkin profile. |
