Plan to brew the Thunderstruck (Yuri) extract recipe this weekend. I read the entire 35 page thread so thanks to everyone (especially Yuri) for all the great info.
Seems consensus is to roast 100% canned pumpkin for 30- 60 minutes (60 minutes is better?) at 350* and let cool. Then add directly to pot for the entire 60 minute boil w\o using a grain bag. Anyone ever add some spices to the pumpkin prior to roasting?
Can I auto siphon the wort from pot to primary or do I really need to strain it? Same question goes for racking from primary to secondary.
Add preferred amount of "tea" to secondary and adjust to taste.
Thanks in advance for any info.
