My wife likes pumpkin beer and I had been saying I'd brew one for a while. Well a co-worker gave me some baking pumpkins so I decided to try it. However I have been dabbling in meads and I do like to experiment so I decided to make a Pumpkin braggot.
Constructing a recipe:
I thought about what flavors go well with pumpkin. I figured some raisin and toffee flavors would go well and used some crystal 120 with a touch of pale chocolate malt for some toast flavor. Some 2 row and pumpkin in the mash. Some Honey, cinnamon, all spice and nutmeg (1g each per gallon). I targeted 12 to 15 IBU with hallertau and strisselspalt. I used BM45 wine yeast. This yeast does well in my Elderberry meads so figured what the heck.
My recipe
