Notes
Used one and a half 4-5 lb pie
pumpkins, cut into 8ths and peeled and roasted 1 hour at 325 degrees in the oven.
Then added to the water with steeping grains and removed when water reached
boiling temp to add extracts, molasses, etc.
Notes from http://www.thebrewsite.com/pumpkin-ale-recipe/The first thing to say is do
not use canned pumpkin! Real pumpkin is the only way to go here, otherwise
you’ll be dealing with a huge mess. You’ve been warned.
You’ll first need
to roast the pumpkin in the oven, similar to cooking squash. This softens the
pumpkin and begins breaking it down. Cut the pumpkin into manageable pieces
(should be cleaned, of course—old jack-o’lanterns work great), place in a
shallow baking pan and add a bit of water to the pan. Roast in a 325°-ish oven
for about an hour, or until soft. Or check a cookbook .
There’s two ways
you can incorporate the finished pumpkin: a partial mash-style method or simply
a soak with the grains as the water heats. For the soak method, simply add the
pumpkin and the grains to your pot of water, put it on the heat to boil. When it
boils, remove the pumpkin and grains. |
