Notes

Add 2 cans pumpkin to mash and 2 cans to boil. 1 can = 796ml pure pumpkin.
Add pumpkin pie spice to flavor when serving or when kegging.
Add 1tsp of pumpkin spice per 5 gallon.
For 2 tsp of pumpkin spice use:
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp cloves
Perfect pumpkin ale. 2 thumbs up.
I personally would maybe add some more hops to bitter it a bit.
Maybe a bit maltier would be better. Mash higher.
