Notes

This was my first attempt at a specialty ale, and it worked nicely. The pumpkin & spice profile comes from the pumpkin pie recipe in "Joy of Cooking", one of the oldest and most reputable cookbooks out there. The pumpkin goes into your primary fermenter with the wort. I let it go seven days then racked to a secondary fermenter. This is a very mild ale (ABV), but the pumpkin pie flavor is unmistakable and very pleasant.
