I had this idea and could not find any useable recipes so I am starting one.
If you are interested in this, please experiment and keep it posted. I think a seasonal soda would be great at seasonal parties, especially when I get a small keg setup.
Fall Soda
Total volume: 2L(~0.5gal)
Ingredients
4Tbl canned pumpkin
1.5Tbl Ginger, fresh ground
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup maple syrup&dark corn syrup(adjust to preference)
1Tbl ground spices: cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg, clove(pumpkin spice will probably do)
1/4tsp yeast(preference)
Directions
1. In 1 quart water boil pumpkin for 10mins. This will darken the pumpkin a bit.
2. Steep spices in hot water for 10mins. (Did this in a tea bag after grinding the spices.)
3. Add sugars, syrups, ginger, and spice water to boiled pumpkin.
4. Strain mixture into dispensing container.
5. Bring volume to 2L.
6. Cool to add yeast
7. I put the soda into 20oz bottles, but you can do what you prefer here: 2L bottle or keg at scaled up volume.
8. Let sit until bottle(s) are hard.
9. Chill for at least 2 days, but more helps the flavors.
Notes:
-There is a small amount of sediment on the bottom of the bottles. This from the pumpkin. Need a better strainer. Muslin bag?
-Carbed up quickly.
-Tastes great, but I will adjust the pumpkin level up some.
-Try more cinnamon.
-Nut extract?
