So my wife's aunt brought some crazy pumpkins over to the family carving fest tonight, we made a vw bus with the one and my god the aromas and flavor of melons it was straight amazing, so my mind started ticking and I think I want to brew a pumpkin IPA with this pumpkin. Figured roast as usual scrape boil half for 20mins in half gallon of water add to mash the. Add other half to boil with 20 mins left in boil. Now my question is what hops would be best to help with the melon like flavors prolly could add some citrus to it as well. Any advice on a grain bill, was thinking about a simple regular IPA recipe where the pumpkin will add a slight orange tone in.
