I have decided to give this a try. I am brewing it today. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I cracked another bottle of this last night and the apple flavors are very obvious. tastes a lot like cider. may need another week or so before I tap the keg. cheers!

You should be ok but pasteurized cider may introduce unwanted yeast and thereby changing the overall fermentation.

Primary for about a week is what I had done then secondary for about a week but had really no noticeable activity. Did you follow my apple juice addition timing?

Ok I legged this on November 19th and I knew I would be anxious to taste so I bottles 6. I just cracked one. Although it's still a bit young I can tell its a definite do over. Thanks for the recipe. Cheers.

This looks interesting. Are you concerned with contamination from the rhubarb?

It's in the secondary now. Just before I bottle/keg (batch is larger than a keg) I will add 4 oz of Apple extract. Hopefully this will provide the extra apple flavor I am hoping for. I will let you know how it tastes in about a month.

I am going to try to make this tomorrow. I will be peeling my apples so that I will not have any yeast from the apple skins in the beer. I will also add my apples juiced in a juicer at flame out so they have a chance to pasteurize and no worries about sanitization for the apples. I hope...

Any issues with Trub clogging things up during the recirc that creates the whirlpool?

I went to get a dremmel bit last night. Thanks guys.

The ipad spell check. I mean "keggles"

I am drilling my keg gales to add the ball valve and was looking to see what others have done to debur around the hole.

A successful brew day. Pumpkin beer is in the basement fermenting with US 05 at 68 degrees. I could drink this batch like juice. Can't wait till it is ready. Thanks for the advise.

We share the same B-day. It seems there is always a celebration to attend for duel purposes. Congrats dude.

I have made this recipe twice before but used coopers yeast. It was ok. I try not to use coopers any more if I can help it. This should be ready for harvest. (B). If you have not tried Pumpkin beer before it is a definite try.

Thanks guys.

I like your swamp cooler idea. I will have to try that.

Ok. What is a swap cooler? I have been fermenting around 72 degrees and was thinking this is warm. I do not like the yeasty flavors you mentioned and always keep a variety of dry yeast in my fridge which is why I ask which strain may work best for this full body full flavor pumpkin pie in a...

I am brewing a hybrid grain and DME pumpkin ale this week end and was curious if anyone found a yeast that is better than others at warmer temps? I am using real roasted pumpkin.
