We've gone back to the brew cave and scaled down this extremely popular kit so that you can welcome the coming harvest by brewing up a small batch of our Smashing Pumpkin Ale.
This spiced Amber Ale is infused with nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger. The spices mingle with sweet, toasty malt to frame an intensely flavorful brew. And just like it big brother, you can add real pumpkin to this recipe for a truly smashing, pumpkin ale - just add an extra pound of 6-row and a large straining bag to your order. It's outside the ordinary, delicious, and most of all fun.
I added the 1# Rahr 6 row and a 5" x 25 muslin bag. I roasted the pumpkin in the oven for 60 minutes at 325. My mistake was NOT putting the pumpkin in with the grains in the bag. I ened up with a wort and a pumpkin slurry on the bottom. I went ahead & fermented it and ended up with four 12 ounce bottled after sieving it. SG 1.08 FG 1.020
Bought another kit and will try again - this time I will put the pumpkin IN the bag with the grains to steep.

Pumpkin beer came out fantastic
Added some extra spices and definitely more pumpkin pie spice, but overall great flavor ! Came right out around 5.2%
