'The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown' Ale - All Grain Special

I'm thinking about adding 12 oz's of pumpkin pie filling to the secondary fermentor for extra flavor. Has anyone tried this? I'll re-post after doing this with my results. I gave this a 4 star but really won't know until its done.

Grabbed this kit because I like browns and it is a great price for a kit!! Just kegged earlier this week and poured the first glass tonight and I was not disappointed!! Great kit! Oh, I added an additional 8oz of Chocolate Malt since I had it lying around.....Made it darker....Almost Porter dark, but delicious!!

Great kit. I would have liked to see the two row split with some Munich base malt but it was still good. The only thing as far as packaging goes is I would have liked to have the hops in a vacuum sealed bag in case I wasn't ready to brew right away, plus it gives the appearance of freshness for all ingredients.

Overall great kit. This was my first homebrew and it came out fantastic. Just wanting more of the spice flavor to come through so if I brew it again I would add more of that. Color is a good deep brown and flavor of the malt was excellent.

This was a pretty solid brown, but the pumpkin spice didn't come through as much as I would have wanted. I added half a can of pumpkin to the mash, didn't do more because I was worried about a stuck sparge. If I brewed this again, I would add more pumpkin (maybe 3/4 of a pound) and put a cinnamon stick or two into the boil to supplement the spices. I would also bump up the mash temp slightly to get a heavier mouthfeel. Came out very dry and light. Finished at 1.009.
