ok one of the best methods i found for my pumpkin ale is to roast it in the oven for 30 minutes sprinkled with brown sugar, its quite nice :) and i think i add it at the end of boil or beginning i cant remember. also be very cautious on the amount of spices they can be overbearing very easily. i...

a dollar a pound is a nice price. it cost 12.75 for a 5lb here in tulsa ok. (I havent shopped around too much though)

hmm ok, i heard that issue from a another person. well i think ill bleed it a little in a couple days and periodically from now on to try to siphon some of that co2 out of the beer while keeping enough in the keg to seal it.

well i just bottled and i decided to charge the whole five gallons with priming sugar. i worked out the Ounces and got just enough bottles to fill while having enough for my keg. so i primed the five gallons, began bottling, filled the keg. i filled the keg to 10 psi i hope thats enough to seal...

hey i just wanted to ask a question. i recently bought a 3 gallon keg, i wish to keg and bottle a 5-5&1/2 gallon batch. i still want to bottle condition my bottles with sugar. do you guys add the priming sugar bottle then add the rest to the keg and also let the keg naturally carbonate along...

i think i used libbys and it wasnt spiced but i dont know could be different kind of libbys. did you roast the pumpkin in the oven and then step it in the mash? i made several pumpkin trial and errors, one was i just added the pumkin straight to a boil and it came out weird with tastes of...

didnt read much at all but just putting my advice out there. i did my pumpkin ale a while back and did two batchs. one think i learned is to roast the pumpkin then step with grains before you add to the boil. i made another batch where i just added raw pumpkin straight to the boil and it had a...

thank you. i used to put them in sanitizer but went to boiling.

i have had a bag of caps for a while and figured ill use them, well i just bottled my beer and bathed the caps in boiling water to sanitize them. after i started bottling i saw that there was a rusty red ring in my pot. and some small spots on the top of the caps but when i was...

im transfering the beer right now. in a couple weeks ill let you guys know how it is! :)

i may consider that, thank you. i put a 1/4 oz in i believe, im not right in front of my sheet right now. thanks for the info :) i am dying to try orange blossom but i need to start searching more.

yep i figure they are distinct in there own ways. yes i literally grabbed wrong bag next to the corriander, we'll see how it turns out. its like a honey ale/belgian white beer. i use corriander juniper and sweet orange peel with clove honey. i have been trying to get ahold of other types of...

i used a fine grain bag when i do my pumpkin ale. it helps, then my bag is stained orange.

sorry didnt read all of it. as long as you sanitized the bucket and didnt make too much bubbles in your beer when you were pouring it back it. im sure you will be fine. i dont think you will have to re-pitch, just give it some time.

ok so in my reciepe i use corrander seed and by mistake i used caradamom(i think thats how you spell it). big differences between them? or will it turn out alright :mug: has anyone used caradamom here?
