  I bought a couple of bottles of Pumpking and measured the SG. It was in the 1.018-1.020 range.
  The label says 19* Plato and 8.6% ABV. If you start at 19* Plato (1.079) then you must ferment
  it down to...

  Cracked a bottle open today. Barely any noticeable carbonation to it, but it tastes pretty darn
  good. Maybe another week of conditioning will lend a few more bubbles to it.Overall, a good
  endeavor! I'...

  I'm brewing this in a few days. I asked SWMBO to pick up some Libby's Pure Pumpkin but she got
  the pie filling instead :rolleyes:. Does anyone know if this will ruin the recipe or will it
  substitute j...

  I also reached out to a brewer at Southern Tier for some guidance. I showed him the recipe from
  the first post in this thread and linked to it in case he was curious to read more, and here's
  his reply...

  Going to bottles today. I'm going to prime them and hope for a little additional carbonation.
  It tastes great, and despite its low gravity still tastes sweet enough.I wish I'd gone a little
  heavier on...

  Removed the strawberries and added the gelatin today. Came in right on target at 1010. The
  sample I tried was great, and my girlfriend really liked it. The strawberry aroma is fantastic,
  and the tartn...

  Moved to the secondary with the additional spices today. I re-pitched a second packet of yeast
  a couple weeks ago. Consequently, this dried out almost completely (went from 1082 OG to 1004
  FG). Surpri...

  Brewed up a batch of this today. Had some crisis with the mash tun leaking madly from its
  spigot, so I had to go with a half-assed brew-in-a-bag method in the kettle. Hit the target
  gravity at the end...

  I just made this guy yesterday. Used the Piloncillo that the recipe prescribed. It's a bit slow
  on the bubbling, but this is the first mead-type concoction I've made, so that might be
  normal.This does...

  Just brewed this last night! I found organic pumpkin pie at Publix for about $2.50 a can.Did
  you use pumpkin pie mix or straight canned pumpkin? The mix will have the spices in it already,
  so you'll p...
