I brewed the Tunderstruck Pumpkin today. I doubled the pumpkin but forgot to add the Irish Moss with 10 min. to go in the boil... What might this do??? I have never used the Irish moss before so I don't know what this was supposed to do but I'm worried because I forgot to add it??? Any...

I think this clears up the pumpkin in a bag question... I will just add the pumpkin to the boil. I'm going with 120 oz of pumpkin to really boost the flavor up (fingers crossed).. I am also thinking I will wait to add the spiced tea to the secondary. Just for the sake of asking; How many...

Thanks MMJfan!!! This did help! Do you mean "Brew In A Bag"? I guess that could be an option. I could use a grain bag to hold the pumpkin and then remove when I cooled and poured into my primary. My main question is if I would be losing anything if I filtered out the pumpkin before...

I am brewing the extract version of this on Saturday and have a few questions. 1) Do I strain the pumpkin out of my wort when adding to the primary to help reduce the turb? Or will that remove something that will contribute to the taste and or finished product. I was just thinking that this...

I did drill alot of holes in the 5 Gal. Buckets and have not watered then a ton with all the rain we have gotten.. I think I will try to fert. then and see what happens... It cant hurt.. I was not expecting much this year being the first year and all but my co-worker who gave them to me already...
