Pumpkin Ale 2013

My October 2013 brew was a modified Midwest Supplies Pumpkin Ale recipe. I added 1oz of homegrown (yes, I grew some of my own hops this year) Galena hops to this recipe. 2 whole pumpkins went in (around 4.5 lbs worth), cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice, a little bit of honey and a pinch of ginger. The final result is a nice warm seasonal spicey (not too spicey) brew, malty, a little bit sweet and not bitter.


May 2014 UPDATE- This brew is being submitted to the annual Samuel Adams Longshot homebrew contest.
