I'm looking to do a ten gallon Oktoberfest. I'd like to split it into two batches for lagering. While lagering, I'd like to add a pumpkin pie spice tea to one of the fermentors for a nice Thanksgiving day beer.
I've made plenty of pumpkin ales through the years and found you don't even need the pumpkin in the mash to get the right flavor, just the spice tea to the secondary.
With that said, I've yet to do it was a lager. Any recommendations on when I should add? As I'm trying to make an Oktoberfest and a pumpkin lager, so I don't want to add spices to the boil.
