Modified Amber malty water profile: Ca 60ppm, Mg 6ppm, Na 14ppm, SO4 50ppm, Cl 45ppm, HCO3 100ppm
I want to mash the pumpkin rather than boil as reports I've read mention lots of trub as a result of adding to boil, and I want to avoid the mess.
Grain choices are: Northwest Pale malt as base for flavor and color, Victory malt @ 8% for biscuit flavor and color, and Belgian Aromatic @ 5% for malt flavor. Adjunct choices are: light brown sugar to add a little flavor as well as to round out the gravity points, pumpkin @ 2lbs (at least) for the pumpkin, and rice hulls as I'll be mashing the pumpkin and want to avoid issues when lautering.
Hop selection is based on what's leftover from other brews: CTZ for bittering, Willamette for flavor

Special Instructions
1.Roast pumpkin @ 350F for 30 minutes prior to mashing
2.Mash with Gypsum 1.8g, CaCl 1.1g, and Lactic 0.9mL
3.Sparge with Gypsum 2.0g, CaCl 1.25g, and Lactic 2.25mL
4.90 minute boil for melanoidin production, so I'm going to sparge with an additional gallon of water due to increased boil off
5.Brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice added last 5 minutes of boil
6.Will adjust pumpkin pie spice in secondary to taste
Pours dark orange and crystal clear with a finger of foam that dissipates slowly. Aroma is bready yeast and a light cinnamon. Flavor is cinnamon toast, pumpkin, and very slight yeast tang with a light butter finish. Mouth feel is good, not too dense. I think this is the best beer I've made yet. I'm really happy with it. The cinnamon flavor could be a little more muted but I like the heavier presence. I think if I didn't change anything and I'd be very happy with this beer any time of year.
