Pumpkin Pie Ale based off of Pumpking ale. I made one batch almost the same before that everyone really liked. This one I am attempting to make a little sweeter with higher mash temp and another 4 ounces of Lactose, also added 1 pound of Melanoidin. The extracts are starting points, adjust to likely after fermentation in secondary if more concentrated flavors are desired.

Mash Steps
type heat temp °F time
Single infusion Infusion 156 90 minutes
 

Special Instructions
  1. Heat 5 gallons of strike water for mash to 174F, heat 4 gallon of water for sparge to 170F for a 7 gallon of mash for boil based on 1 gallon of loss per hour. Add Irish Moss last 15 minutes of boil
  2. Adjust extract flavorings in secondary to meet prefered taste.
  3. Primary fermentation 14 days at 67F and rack to carboy
  4. Secondary fermentation 30 days at 67F, add finings once FG is reached, allow 4 weeks
  5. Use all of one base grain if desired, I have done both. I just had extra MO and 2-row to use up.
  6. To intensify the pumpkin put pumpkin in grain bag during mash and hang bag in kettle during boil for about 15 minutes.
  7. I like mashing all my grains and hops during boil in grain bags, I use a wooden dowel rod across the kettle. Seems easier to clean up and works just as well for me anyway.
