Imperial Roasted Pumpkin Porter:

Ingredients:

Malt
6kg - Pale Ale Malt
540g - Crystal 60
370g - Crystal 120
370g - Black Malt
240g - Roasted Barley

Hops
20g - Northern Brewer @ 60mins
20g - Fuggles @ 30mins
15g - East Kent Goldings @ 15mins

Other
1kg - Roasted Pumpkin
1/4 tsp - Nutmeg
1/2 tsp - Cinnamon
5 whole cloves

Yeast
Safale S-04, 1 Litre starter, made the night before.

19 litres, SG 1.072 

Use 800g of the pumpkin in the mash, and 200g at 30 minutes in the boil.

Take a cup of the boiling wort at about 30 mins and add your spices, taste it and make sure it's not too overpowering as the flavours will increase in the finished beer. And if not, you can always add more later, it's better than ruining it.
