Its that time of year, starting to think about brewing my october beer, and Im going to try out a pumpkin ale. I haven't done one before and wanted to see what people thought about the use of pumpkin juice as an ingredient.
I recently got a fancy juicer for everyday use and thought it might be useful in making a pumpkin ale, instead of dealing with having the pumpkin pieces in the wort and having to deal with it when racking, etc.
Has anyone out there had any experience in using pumpkin in juice form? I'd be interested in hearing about your methods, if you cook it first, when you add it in the brewing/fermentation process. or if anyone might have ideas on how to best utilize pumpkin for its juice as a beer ingredient.
