Hi all

So today I had a day off so I thought I'd brew my pumpkin ale.

This is solely my recipe so please criticise where appropriate

(By the way I've been drinking an old English ale that I brewed a few weeks ago so apologies for that)

First I cup my pumpkin n half and cleaned out the slime and seeds

Then roasted en !!

While they were in the oven I prepared my grains

I have 200g of dark crystal malt
150g of cara red
And 4kg of pale malt

66dgec the pumpkin was added

After my hop additions which were
5g magnum
30g at 30 mins mosaic
I added 1 cinnamon stick, 2 crushed cloves and 1 inch of vanilla at flame out

Hop spider is excellent

After cooling etc I took a gravity reading then pitched my US05 yeast into the carboy

Looking good. The last time i did a pumkin ale i put the pumkin in the boil but this had mixed results. Might have to grab a few haloween pumkins and have another go

Looks interesting.

I need to give a pumpkin ale a go. Plenty of pumpkins in the shops at the moment

Go Bro...
