Then it wouldn't be pumpkin beer but orange food coloring beer.

So 3.25 gallons when cutting it in half from 6.5 then. I need to get this one going if it's going to be ready by Halloween !

Ok, so I've been reading just about all of this thread an am wanting to do the extract version but was only wanting to do a 2.5 gallon batch. Am I correct in just dividing the recipe in half? Can't wait to get this one going!

Long time lurker. I have a quick question about the taste of the water I am mashing the grains in. I am doing a 2.5 gallon batch of NB Dead Ringer and the water I am steeping the grains in isn't tasting as strong as I expected. I thought it would have a more pronounced taste or sweetness to it...

Hello all! I have been lurking for some time and just decided to join this great informative site. I have wanted to brew for some time now and with a Christmas gift of the sometimes scorned Mr.Beer I am brewing away and reading up on how to make Mr. Beer better. I soon hope to...
