Has anyone ever tried a pumpkin weizen. I was looking for some recipes but could not find any.

I am new to all grain brewing and was wondering how can i convert a recipe from extract to all grain? Here it is: Weizenbier 5 gallons Starting Gravity: 1.048 - 1.052 Final Gravity: 1.010 - 1.014 Alcohol by Volume: 4.0% - 5.0% Hop IBUs: 10 - 15 6.6 lbs Plain wheat malt extract...

I went to LHBS store and the shelves were pretty empty. I was going for the Thunderstruck Pumpkin ale and here is what he came up with. 6 lbs muntonss hopped light DME 1 lbs Caramel/Crystal Malt - 90L 8.0 oz Biscuit Malt 4.0 oz Wheat, Flaked 60.00 oz Pumpkin, Canned (Boil 60.0 min)...

Should i even bother trying to do a pumpkin ale with muntons pre-hopped extract?

What recipe did you use for the pumpkin ale?

I hear that the hop shortage is due to Anheuser-Busch buying up all the hops????

Thanks Brad!:mug:

First time doing a cream ale (Brewers Best). Anything special that i need to be aware of?:confused:

I hear that the hop shortage is due to Anheuser-Busch buying up all the hops????

In the Brewer's Best recipe it states that one should not squeeze the steeping bag. When i was at the local do it yourself brewery, they told me to squeeze the heck out of the steeping bag. What gives?

OG was 1.055

I am using the same kit! After a week i am sitting at 1.025. I am going to ride it out for a bit longer! Let me know how this kit works out for you and i will do the same.

Thanks for the positive feedback! I will let it go for a while and take a S.G. in another week or two and determine whether or not i should add yeast! But adding yeast would not hurt anyways?
