Well it is definitely cider time again, I picked up some fresh Safale US-05 from the LHBS today. I haven't decided exactly what I want to do this time, I have done a couple batches of strait apple cider, a couple batches of blackberry apple cider and one batch with quite a bit of sugar added I have been seeing a few recipes with pumpkin in them, which sounds interesting, I was thinking about doing a batch with a bunch of spices added too.
A question about the pumpkin, I see people are using canned and it sounds like they are putting it in a fine mesh bag so it doesn't get in the must as much am I right? Could I just take a gallon of water, a can of pumpkin and spices and boil them for 30 minutes and pour it into the carboy with the juice to ferment?
