hey-
I know it's a little out of season, but my friend wanted to try a brew and he had his mind set on a pumpkin ale. Here is the problem: I bought 5lbs of organic pumpkin to use and did not remove it before putting in the carboy. Now, I've got 5 inches of pumpkin at the bottom of my carboy that has settled out. I used 6 gallons of water planning to get 5.5 in the carboy, so now i have about 3.5 gallons of beer and 2 gallons of alcoholic pumpkin sitting on the bottom. I know this pumpkin is just filled with beer because the volume of pumpkin at the bottom is about 2 to 3 times the volume of the actual pumpkin I put in. Can anyone think of a way to "milk the beer" out of the pumpkin.
Thanks-
messi
