I'm seeing a lot of pumpkin threads. I've had some really good pumpkin beers and have made one in the past.
This got me thinking... what about other types of squash? Butternut in particular. It seems this would be nearly as effective since the starches are very similar. Also, my dad is growing a ton of butternut squashes and probably won't be able to eat them all.
I'm thinking they could be used for a fall harvest ale.
Anyone tried it? Did it come out as horrible as it sounds? Or did it make a decent pumpkin-like beer?
