Would anyone know if it would be ok to use storebought pumpkin puree in a mash for pumpkin ale? As fond as I am of homemade everything, I'm not able to roast and mash a pumpkin at home for various reasons.

Id like to thank the op personally for doing us all this service. It was more of an asset to the homebrew community thank you could ever have imagined. My kit is together and I'm excited for my first brew with it, a pumpkin ale. I ended up having to use 4 washers on either side (total of 8)...

Can anyone share a recipe for a very sweet traditional mead plz? If possible, include type and quantity of yeast and nutrient (as well as water volume) and procedure. Want to do my first batch and do it right to get a syrupy, super sweet elixir of norse gods type booze.

Excellent, thanks. What I was looking for was rahr pale malt but ill just sub plain pale malt in bs.

To summerize, my thermometer was innacurate (reading 110 @ 70 f), chances are I mashed way too high, my auto siphon broke, suctioned by mouth like an idiot, got an og of 1.035 when I was looking for 1.045, and only ended up with 4 gal, added 1 gal or so...

Also, this an all grain esb.

I'm going to be brewing a 5 gal batch next tues but only have a 5 gal stockpot. I won't have enough room for sparging and room to prevent boil over. Any tips? I was thinking about brewing a small 4 gal total (sparge included) concentrated mash and then adding water to the fermentor to dilute to...
