Hello,
I recently found and brewed a pumpkin ale that called for 5 lbs of real pumpkin roasted. I roasted the pumpkin and purreed it in the blender. This was probably a mistake because of the pulp it took forever to rack into primary through my funnel screen. Even though it went through the screen Alot of pulp remained in primary. I did alot of things wrong with this beer but Im mostly worried about the pulp and what it will do later with the body and texture of the beer. Will I have problems bottling it? will it taste gritty or fibery once its time to drink? I really have no idea what to expect with this one regarding the pulp
However it is a beautiful color and smells wonderful. Fermenting nicely.
