Used cold tap water instead of hot water from the water heater.

This one is good, but not as good as it has been in the past. The spice taste is good but the pumpkin is lacking. I did not get around to transferring this to a secondary fermenter, which might make a difference. And it only fermented for 28 days before kegging. Perhaps I need to let this one sit for a couple months before kegging again next time.
