I'm planning to brew a pumpkin saison soon and am looking for some thoughts on the grain bill. The percentages are just for the grain, by weight. I'll also be adding pumpkin to the boil, probably the equivalent of 3- or 4-15 oz cans of Libby's.
75% 2-row
9% Munich
4% Crystal 60L
4% Biscuit
4% Flaked Wheat
4% Flaked Rye
Estimated OG from the grain bill above is ~1.060, plus 15-20 points from the pumpkin (based on other recipes I've seen around). SRM ~10 (not sure what, if any, color the pumpkin will contribute).
Planning to use 3711 since I have some in the fridge that I saved from the starter from a batch of the Cottage House Saison from this site (which I'd highly recommend). Hops and spice additions TBD, just trying to nail down the grain bill first.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts/advice.
