I'd love to taste one that was fermented pumpkin.<BR/><BR/>Does anybody really know what pumpkin tastes like or is it all nutmeg, cinnamon, et. ?Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08522250477305289784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22399565.post-63836251555536689542007-10-04T17:15:00.000-04:002007-10-04T17:15:00.000-04:00Hi Travis,I've been wanting to do a pumpkin ale fo...Hi Travis,<BR/><BR/>I've been wanting to do a pumpkin ale for 2 years now. Still haven't gotten around to it. Perhaps next year. I did find a recipe and procedure that's pretty detailed that includes the pre-roasted pumpkin in the mash.<BR/><BR/>It is very important to use the right kind of pumpkin. I noticed in your photos some big carving pumpkins. Did you use those in your brew? My manager at TJ's confirmed that those aren't grown for cooking, and that they will simply turn to water if cooked. Not much flavor at all from those.<BR/><BR/>The small "pie pumpkins" are grown for culinary applications. They have lots of flavor and texture. Did you use these in the brew, and then carve some pumpkins on the side? Just curious? <BR/><BR/>Please let us know how this one turns out.Ted Danylukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416906043519452478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22399565.post-32309791846040839752007-09-26T13:26:00.000-04:002007-09-26T13:26:00.000-04:00Really looking forward to hearing about how yours ...Really looking forward to hearing about how yours turns out. <BR/><BR/>I actually hit up the local homebrew shop yesterday and picked up my grain/hop bill for my first pumpkin beer as well, should be brewing this Sunday.<BR/>Cheers!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776063783989023540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22399565.post-74711769857348369982007-09-25T23:13:00.000-04:002007-09-25T23:13:00.000-04:00Good luck!

Sounds interesting.<BR/><BR/>I like the idea of using two different yeasts. I've done that and I couldn't believe the difference between the California Ale yeast and a German Ale yeast. Worlds apart.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08522250477305289784noreply@blogger.com
