Pumpking beer contest video is up! also another review video will be posted tonight cheers!

Amazing that it would bring out that much flavor with just two beans? I'm making a stout so I'm thinking I might be ok.

How much bourbon did you use? I was thinking 2oz?

Spices are best at flame out or during a secondary phase. Boiling spices for long periods can give some undesired flavors. I've added mine at flame out or at secondary with very good results. Speaking of which my pumpkin will be ready to bottle in a another 2 weeks.

I use whole hops 90% of the time. They don't sink and just rest on the top. I have never had a problem syphoning with whole leaf.

Looks delicious.

I mean cider :)

I'm sure it will be fine. Post a pic of beer in the glass when it's finished. Cheers :)

For a subtle hint juice what ever fruit say 4 limes or two oranges and add it at flame out. For more flavor add it to secondary.

If you can pry them apart go for it.If not use priming sugar.

Excuse my bad iPhone typing.

Half in none really. But on my IPAs stouts I lose about a half gallon. Cream ales and lighter beers I don't lose much. But this was an example for the OP. say he he filled shy of five gallons and had 1/2 to 1/4 trub loss. Could boost his ABV.

it will water out or lower your AVB if you miscalculate and add more water than desired..i may have done this once or twice but ive gotten good at it through out the years

I think he means using top off water and adding more water to account for trub which is what I do instead of straining the trub.

Agreed. Although I have made quite a mess with straining so I said F it and just dumped it in. :)

Im brewing this tomorrow..well a variation of it.. using graham crackers..then vanilla beans soaked in bourbon for secondary..

Video taping this Sun. hopefully get the video up that night or Monday..cheers.

I will be transferring the pumpkin to secondary this fri. not sure if I will add anything until I taste it...lot of trub and a krausen that's not dropping anytime soon it seems. beer looks and smells great though

I tend to stay away from tabs cause I had the same problem. Priming sugar is best imo

When you're constantly changing fermenting rooms cause the swamp cooler is making it stink.
