Brewed this up yesterday after not brewing a pumpkin ale for about 4 years. I brewed on a Grainfather and with a full pound of rice hulls I was able to have a smooth mash and sparge while getting an OG of 1.058. Had a big krausen within 12 hours of pitching Denny's Favorite. Looking forward...

Appreciate the info everyone!

Good Morning! I've recently been gifted a LARGE quantity of both Green Bullet and Crystal hops. I'm wondering: 1. If these can be used together in a brew? & 2. What styles these varieties would work well in? I just don't have a lot of experience with either of these. Thanks!

I brewed a modified version of this beer about 2.5 weeks. Basically the same grain bill but I hopped with some Centennial, Cascade, and Amarillo that I had around. Its turned out great! Even though it's young, it's drinking pretty well already. I imagine this keg will go quick!

I brewed this about 3 weeks ago, hit my mash temp spot on, OG was 1.052. I used 1056 instead of Notty. I fermented for 2 weeks at 66 deg and then cold crashed for a week. When I took a final gravity reading, it was down to 1.006. I'm not sure if my hydrometer is off (though i did test in...

I brewed this recipe again for the fourth or fifth time. It's always a big hit with friends and family. OG was 1.066 (but I beefed up the base malt a little as I usually do). Followed the recipe exactly as the OP except for adding 2lbs of golden promise and I experimented with a half pound of...

Been about a week since I last tried my latest batch. Aceteldehyde is less pronounced. I'm hoping another 1-2 weeks and it'll have faded completely.

6 weeks post brew-day. Turned out great. Can't wait to see how it tastes in a few more weeks cause it's pretty awesome already.

Two weeks in the keg, and about carbed up. Taste is awesome. Can't wait for another few weeks to pass. Great recipe.

Love this recipe, but my recent batch has some major aceteldehyde going on. I fermented around 66 with US-05 for 3 weeks with a week then to cold crash prior to transferring to the keg. It's been in the keg almost 3 weeks now and it's a green apple bomb. I've done 3 batches of this and the past...

Kegged the other day, couldn't resist a sample. Cold and flat, still tastes awesome. Can't wait for it to carb up and age a few more weeks. Nice amount of roasty flavor and silky smooth.

I brewed this last weekend...1.058 OG but only down to 1.020. I used 1098 because I couldn't get any 1335. I fermented around 67 degrees. I've raised it up a degree or two and tried to rouse the yeast to get it down a couple more points. Samples taste great.

I brewed this recipe up yesterday and I'm super excited about it. I couldn't get ahold of any 1335 and I missed the posts about using Denny's so I used 1098. OG was 1.058 because I added an extra pound of Maris to offset any efficiency issues I sometimes have. I'm really excited to try this...

I brewed this up several weeks ago. I modified the recipe somewhat this time around. This was the third or fourth time I've brewed it. I added some additional golden promise and I used another can of pumpkin purée. I also upped the spices just a little bit 1/4 tsp more of each (except the clove...
