Steep black patent malt. Remove grain and add extracts. Boil wort 60
minutes with 2-3 ounces ginger, add boiling hops at 30 minutes. At 10
minutes add cinnamon. In last couple minutes, add finishing hops. Pre-
pare pumpkin while wort is boiling: place pumpkin flesh in blender or
food processor and mush. Mix chopped cilantro and 1-2 ounces fresh
ginger in with mush. Place pumpkin mush, wort, and water to make 6-1/2
gallons in primary fermenter. Let primary fermentation proceed 1 week.
Remove pumpkin mush and strain remaining liquid into 5 gallon carboy.
Rack again after 3 weeks. Bottle after another 2 months. This is quite
aromatic and will make a good sipping beer for next halloween. It is
definitely not for consuming in large quantity. Primary Ferment: 1 week
Secondary Ferment: 2 weeks + 2 months
