Notes

My 4th itteration. Very delicious. I add two cans of libbeys pumpkin puree to the mash with some rice hulls. I add the spices to the boil for the last minute and let it steep while I chill the wort.

The IBU's seem high, but magnum hops are very clean and smooth.

Entered in a local homebrew contest. Got 4th place!

If i would change anything would be the nutrients. Yeast didnt ferment as well as it should have
