I just purchased a "Smashing Pumpkin Ale" kit from Northern and this is going to be my first attempt at adding an actual vegetable to my brew for flavor.
I'm curios for any tips and or tricks you may have learned through trial and error. My goal is to NOT make any errors.
I also purchased 3 pounds of 6 Row to add to the pumpkin mash. Have any of you tried roasting a 10 pound pumpkin or am I better off going with canned? I would much rather go with the real thing even though its a little more work.
Northern added 1 tsp of pumpkin spice into the recipe and after reading the reviews I think I would like to add more spices to my recipe. Does anyone have any thoughts on that or past experiences you may have had?
Im planning on brewing at the end of August for a 6 week turnaround as the directions suggest. Is there any thoughts on the timing?
Thanks in advance!
