Makes 5 gallons of Pumpkin Spice Latte
All-grain recipe designed for brewers with an all-grain system
Ready to drink in about 4 weeks
Pumpkin spice ale with lactose, coffee beans, and seasonal spices
Driest, and the coffee comes forward
The lactose in this recipe does not ferment, so every version of this beer has a full, sweet base under it. US-05 leaves the least behind of the four, which brings the coffee and pumpkin spice forward on top of that base.
Ferment at 64-79°F
Attenuation 78-82%
Flocculation Medium
Clean and neutral
Coffee and spice, undiluted
Coffee, pumpkin spice and lactose are the personality of this beer, and Flagship steps back so all three lead. It finishes with a comfortable body and no flavor of its own to argue with them. The clearest read on the spice blend of the four.
Ferment at 60-72°F
Attenuation 73-77%
Flocculation Low-Medium
Extremely clean
A natural with coffee
The gentle nutty character this strain produces sits beautifully next to coffee and roasted flavors, and it leaves more malt behind than US-05, which suits the sweetness the lactose already brings. It also drops bright without any help at all.
Ferment at 60-72°F
Attenuation 72-76%
Flocculation Medium-High
Soft, nutty, clears clean
The fullest, sweetest latte
This finishes fuller than anything else here, and on top of the lactose it takes the beer properly into dessert territory. If you want it to taste like the drink it is named after, this is the route. A diacetyl rest at the end is worth it.
Ferment at 64-72°F
Attenuation 67-71%
Flocculation High
Malty and sweet finishing

Flavor Profile & Beer Style
The Pumpkin Spice Latte is a creamy, dessert-style ale that combines the warm spice character of a pumpkin ale with the smooth body and coffee kick of a latte. Lactose sugar adds creamy mouthfeel and residual sweetness, while whole coffee beans contribute bold coffee flavor and aroma. The pumpkin spice blend brings cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger warmth, and Cluster hops provide just enough bittering to balance the sweetness. The result is a smooth, full-bodied seasonal ale that drinks like your favorite fall coffee drink.

How the Brewing Process Works
Brewing this Pumpkin Spiced Latte Ale follows a typical all-grain brewing process:
Mash: Convert grain starches into fermentable sugars at a higher temperature for a full, sweet body that supports the lactose and spice character.
Sparge: Rinse the grains to collect sweet wort.
Boil: Add Cluster hops for bittering and dissolve lactose sugar into the wort. Add pumpkin spice blend at the end of the boil for subtle spice character, or reserve it for a spice tincture during fermentation for more intense flavor.
Ferment: Ferment with American ale yeast until clean and fully attenuated. After one week of fermentation, add whole coffee beans to the fermenter and age for one additional week before bottling.
Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks from brew day to glass.
This all-grain Pumpkin Spice Latte delivers a creamy, full-bodied dessert-style ale with smooth lactose sweetness, bold coffee flavor, and warm pumpkin spice character in every sip."
New to Liquid Yeast?
Liquid yeast can deliver excellent fermentation performance and a wider range of strain options, but it’s a living, perishable product that requires a little extra care.
Liquid yeast may arrive warm. Ice packs help reduce heat exposure but do not guarantee cold arrival.
Refrigerate it when received and plan to brew as soon as possible.
We recommend adding an insulated mailer + ice pack to liquid yeast orders.
During May–September, dry yeast is strongly recommended due to higher shipping temperatures.
Liquid yeast is final sale and cannot be replaced due to heat exposure during transit.

What style of beer is Pumpkin Spiced Latte?
Pumpkin Spiced Latte is a spiced pumpkin latte ale — not a stout or porter. It pours amber with a medium-full body. The coffee and spice sit on a clean malt base, not a dark roasted one.
What are the main flavor notes?
Pumpkin spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger), bold coffee from whole coffee beans, and creamy sweetness from lactose — all balanced on a smooth amber malt base.
How long is this available each year?
Pumpkin Spiced Latte is a limited fall seasonal. Once the season's stock sells out it's done until the following year. A 5 gallon all-grain batch is a great way to brew your full fall supply.
Is there a way to get stronger pumpkin spice in a 5 gallon batch?
Yes — reserve the pumpkin spice blend and on day 10 of fermentation soak it in 1 oz of vodka in a sealed container. At bottling, stir that mixture into your cooled priming sugar. The spice comes through clean and pronounced in the finished beer.
How long does a 5 gallon all-grain Pumpkin Spiced Latte batch take?
Plan for about 4–5 weeks total: brew day with mash and sparge, roughly 2 weeks of fermentation, and 1–2 weeks of bottle conditioning.
