Pumpkin Beer: BREW DAY

Brewed a pumpkin beer for my dad's 50th birthday party coming up in a month. I used a recipe from homebrewtalk.com to base mine off of. As usual, things really didn't go as planned but I think it may turn out okay anyway.

Here's what I brewed:
8 lb 2-Row
1 lb Caramalt
1 lb Marris Otter
1 lb Torrified Wheat
1/2 lb Molasses

1 oz Northern Brewer
1oz Hallertaur

"Dash" of cinnamon at 5 minutes left in boil because I forgot to buy all the other spices before I started this. I'm dumb.

So I'm going to add the allspice, ginger, cloves and nutmeg in the secondary and see what happens. I kind of just fly by the seat of my pants when I'm brewing so I'm not really too worried about it. As Charlie Papazian would say, "Relax, don't worry. Have a homebrew!"

The yeasties just started up an hour ago. And now I'm realizing that I forgot to take an original gravity reading... oops. Guess I'll have another homebrew!
