So, I'm planning to do a pumpkin ale this week. I'm an extract brewer and will be using 60 oz of canned pumpkin, with a homemade blend of spices.
My question has to do with WHEN to add pumpkin and spices. I have read a ton of really useful info on this site and others but, as is the case with most topics, there is a wide degree of variance in preference. I would love to hear what y'all have to say.
Should I put pumpkin in at 60 min or wait until later in boil? Should I add spices toward end of boil or to secondary? Or both?
I'm really looking forward to brewing this and having it ready for late fall, as nothing says Autumn quite like a pumpkin ale.
Thanks.
