    Blue Moon Clone Extract Recipe

    Make your own! Take an orange and lemon, grate off the peel (don't get the white pith), put them on wax paper and dry them overnight. Store them in a container in the refrigerator until you're ready to brew with them. It's actually a lot cheaper. I do this with grapefruit peel for my IPAs.

    Blue Moon Clone Extract Recipe

    If you're only doing 2.5 gallons, are you going to do a Full Volume Boil? I would think you could just halve everything, but I would default to a BeerSmith or another program like that to make sure gravities align. You can get orange peel at the grocery, and it's probably more cost effective...

    How do i age my beer?

    I agree with that, bottle conditioning seems to really help aging. Plus it's easy to then test beers to see if they've aged enough, just pop open a bottle.

    Pumpkin Ale Problems

    Personally I think a teaspoon is plenty. Those spices get out of hand easily. Maybe 1.5 tsp but I would worry you would only taste spices and nothing else. Just my two cents though.

I didn't add rice hulls to the pumpkin, but you could if you wanted. Might help. Just make sure you...

    Pumpkin Ale Problems

    Where are you putting the pumpkin, boil? Have you considered steeping the pumpkin along with any specialty grains? I'm doing a ST Pumking Clone and steeped the pumpkin in a muslin bag after baking it for 45 mins. Turned out awesome, and you don't have the trub issues.

    Black IPA with Extract

    I had to use two yeast packs for mine because it got big quick. Took 3 months to carb, but it was worth it. It's been aging for about 5 months at it keeps getting better. Also if you can do a full-volume boil, it will make it a lot better. Adding a pound of corn sugar is necessary, but it can...
