    What do you do with your spent grains?

    Just moved to a new place and brewed 2 beers on Sat. late into the am. Quickly remebered after I had 25lb of (dry) grain I had no plans for the spent grains after (they ended up in a garbage bag and are awaiting trash day Friday, yuck). Previously I was able to dump them away from where I was...

    Yeast starter issues?

    Recently new to the yeast starter scene. I've been doing all grain for a year or two and typically use white labs yeast. On the starters I've done the yeast seems good and I see action in the flask 1400ml on the stir plate and lots of bubbling and then I pitch within 36-48 hrs of making it. I...

    Pumpkin Ale help!

    Seems like a goo test, I had 2 of the large cans of Libby's pumpkin in the mash and the flavor was noticeable when tasting the mash, now that it's fermented not so much, just spices. Perhaps ill give it some more pumpkin and see what happens.

    Pumpkin Ale help!

    Cool, that's what I was thinking maybe baking a some pumpkin and a little brown sugar and then racking it on top and hope for some of that pumpkin goodness to rub off.

    Pumpkin Ale help!

    Thanks, I am pretty easy on spices now and it tastes like a descent autumn ale but I was hoping to get it more like the Sam Adams pumpkin beer with a really good pumpkin flavor. I know the pumpkins favors are pretty bland just don't know of how to get more of it. Thanks! Ben

    Pumpkin Ale help!

    I just racked my pumpkin ale and sadly I can't taste much pumpkin in it which is what I was going for. How can I get more pumpkin flavor in it? Can I cook some more pumpkin up, rerack it on top to add more pumpkin flavor? Thoughts? Thanks!
