Thanks, I forgot about the absorption, but I basically meant sparge to get 3.5 gallons. Curious about why you suggest a higher water ratio in the mash (trying to learn more about the process). Also, would you suggest rice hulls for the partial mash? Thanks for all the help. I'm pumped about...

I'm planning on trying the partial mash version this weekend (if I can find pumpkin). It will be my first partial mash, so I'm not really sure what I'm doing. When I calculate my mash water, I should include the pumpkin, right? So total weight of grains + pumpkin = 7lbs. So I should mash...

I was going to do that, but I don't have a sankey tap. Even drove down to Total Wine (at the wife's request, she's even more impatient than me) to see if they carried taps, but they only have pump type picnic taps. One's now on order, but I'm not sure when it will get here. It's basically...

I finished my bar and kegorator build this weekend, but my IPA won't be done dry-hopping until next weekend. Now I have a shiny stainless steel tower mocking me. It's begging me to pour a beer but I can't. I don't know how much longer I can hold out.

Has anyone attempted the extract version of this recipe? I'm planning on trying it in a few weeks and was wondering how it turned out for others.

Has anyone tried the DFH Punkin clone recipe? I'm planning on trying it in a few weeks and would love to hear if it's good.

That sounds like a great idea. I'm planning on making two batches (wife loves pumpkin beer). If I steep the pumpkin and strain it out before the boil, I should be able to re-use the yeast, correct?

I found a pumpkin ale recipe I want to try, but haven't made the jump to all-grain yet. The recipe is below: 10 lbs pale 2 row malt 1 lbs Special Roast 1 lbs Crystal 60 2-large cans libbys pumpkin � in the mash 1 lbs brown sugar @ 60 min 1 ounces Hallertauer @ 60 min 1 1/2 TBS...

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I'll be picking up a copy of beersmith. Too bad they don't offer a linux version.

My first few batches came out ok, but the color has been too dark and flavor too sweet. So I'm planning on experimenting with late LME addition on NB's Dead Ringer IPA. I'm having some trouble wrapping my mind around hop utilization and what type of IBU I should be shooting for on this brew...

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I'll have to go pick up a few extra cases of bottles.

Planning on brewing a pumpkin ale this fall. Does anyone have any recipe that's similar to Dogfishhead's Punkin' Ale. That stuff is Thanksgiving in a bottle.

I think this question has basically been answered in this thread, but I want to be sure. I'm planning on brewing the NB Belgian Triple this weekend. Everything I've read says it needs 3+ months in bottles to get really good. Would I be able to leave it in secondary for a longer to reduce the...
