Should I go with a 5gal glass carboy as my secondary, or perhaps a better bottle?
I brewed this kit on Saturday and it, so far, smells like it's going to be quite an amazing beer. I used the DME option and liquid yeast (which started fermenting in the primary within 8 hours, pretty rapidly too). I also baked two cans of Libby's pure pumpkin before putting that in a nylon mesh bag and steeping it with the grains for 25 minutes. I also put a cup of brown sugar in the steeping session, as I heard that really makes it better.
We'll see how it turns out, but it really did smell delicious.

I think I'm a little late for starting a pumpkin ale now but what are people looking at for a Christmas/Holiday ale?

I used cheese cloth, if that helps.Oh...one more thing. If I do put the pumkin in a nylon bag, do I want a coarse or fine bag? Also, will the small nylon mesh bag from AHS be big enough?
So after the 25 minutes you took the nylon with chunky pumpkin goodness out? There are tons of sugars left in there and you might be missing out on a lot of the flavor. You should just boil it right in, it becomes a homogeneous mixture no problem.
Exactly how I did it!!! Mine started at 1.064 and was 1.012 today, 17 days later. It tasted very green and couldn't really pick up any pumpkin flavor as of yet. I will transfer to secondary this weekend for 3 more weeks, then bottle. I hope the pumpkin comes out by then.

I'm curious why some of you baked the canned stuff? They said you only bake to soften the pumpkin.
Any updates? I'm brewing the AHS mini-mash this week.
