I'm planning on using pie pumpkins. Will I get anything out of them if I boil instead of mash?

I've been wanting to do this for a while but instead of trying to formulate a recipe I thought I'd just do this: Purchase a simple porter kit from where ever, and then add my spices and pumpkin to the brew as instructed from a pumpkin ale recipe. Will this be ok? And what type of yeast...

I did not know that. Not really sure what under modified means. I just wanted something other than 2 row.

What are your thoughts on this grain bill? Does it sound appealing or disgusting? 8lbs Moravian Pilsner malt 4oz Brown malt 1lb Crystal 10L 2lbs Vienna WLP 051

Thank you for the replies and input. After a Google search I found that that the English yeast can be used for a English style stout. The fermentation temp should be between 65-68 F. This will be my fifth all grain batch. I have been picky about gravity and other unexpected outcomes before...

I went to the store to purchase a vial of Irish Ale yeast for a stout recipe but it was out of stock. I instead picked up a vial of English Ale yeast. Will this work or was it a bad choice? Also, is there really a right or wrong choice? Will any style of yeast work when brewing beer?

The pig porter was very smokey. It didn't really have a pork flavor to it.

Good luck! This still means that 79% went out of state. That seems like a lot to me. It's great that this brew is being shared but Michigan should be the state NOT having a problem with distribution. I like their theory on price gouging, but Founders is not going to pull their shipments...

If I had time to stand in line for this beer, I would have been there. The KBS release did sound worse, but I received 12 bottles of KBS, all of which were purchased from a store shelf. And of course they said that. If they did send the majority of this beer around Michigan, then their...

I am also quite irritated. I live an hour and a half north of the brewery and was told my by local shop that only 10 cases were available for the 41 surrounding counties. I was able to do the math and figured out that I wasn't getting a bottle. My local shop also told me that Founders had to...

Give chocolate covered bacon a try.

Thank you to all who have helped me get into this hobby. I stalked this forum and youtube channels for a long time so that I could learn an all grain process. Even though I have only had one batch out of four turn out positive, I still am very much interested in this hobby; my wife included...

Mistakes were made. Ortiz threw a blatant headbutt. The ref never sent Mayweather to a neutral corner and was not paying attention when it was most important. Mayweather, despite being upset about the headbutt, should never have thrown those cheap shots. He clearly looked over and saw that...

I altered the hops a bit for my first recipe, adding more for bitterness. I also added some fresh rye to this Irish Red which I picked from my own personal property. I'm looking forward to creating my own recipes, but I figured kits were the way to go. Obviously I am not perfect with the...

As expected. During the process I kept thinking I was doing something wrong. My first batch was an IPA which turned out great and was easily consumable. I'll let it ferment for now and see what happens. Thank you for the quick response. Back to AHS to purchase another Irish Red. Any...

My hydrometer was correct measuring clean water at 1.000. As for temps, I mashed in at around 155-160 F. I did not do any calculations concerning this. My boil temp was consistent with around 220 F

I brewed an Irish Red yesterday (Saturday). I'm pretty sure I know what I did wrong. I mashed in 3.3 gallons and then rinsed with 1.7 gallons. I was supposed to rinse with an extra 1.25 gallons, but I did not. I instead added the difference with clean water before I boiled to reach 6.25...

I bought a 2011 edition of Utopias today. The taste is a lot different than I thought it would be. Similar to cognac but very syrupy and no burn. I'm happy with the purchase. My wife, not so much, but hey...that's marriage right? Any suggestions on storage? I recapped the bottle. Should...
