ST Imperial Pumking Ale update: I just transfered to secondary tonight, hit FG of 1.034 corrected for ABV of 9.30% ABV. Tasted pretty damn good so I didn't add anything else at this point. The pulp was no problem except the pulp mass equaled 1-gallon. Next time I will brew with more water to...

My ST Imp Pumking fermenting so far.......... Fermentation-Pitched yeast 9/19 @ 2100, bubbling every 45 sec on 9/20 at 1700, every 10 sec @ 2200. 9/21 @ 0800 steady slow, @ 1700 steady fast @ 2230 steady rapid. 9/22 @ 0800 steady rapid, as well as @ 1700 and 2200. 9/23 @ 0800 steady, @ 1700...

Hey Moody, looks like our ST Imperial Pumking Ale's will be coming out of bottle priming (if you bottle) around the same time, we might have to arrange a Pumking tasting. I used info on bottle and a brew calculator to come up with grains/extracts, shooting for ABV and the color from a bottle I...

EuBrew, Sounds like our recipies are pretty close (but I salute you all grain brewers!), I used a little more spices (keeping in mind your spice tea at bottling idea) and will have to see if I also need to "tea" it up at bottling time. I see you used 5 vanilla beans and am thinking I may need...

I'm in a tri-level with no basement and don't want to give up my garage so I brew in the sunporch next to the hottub, pretty much year round. All grain and kegging probably won't be practical in this house.

Hey chicagobrew and black95tt, Thanks to both for the responses, that would be great to hear from the head brewer at ST on this. As to the suggestions from black95tt, I already brewed this on Sunday evening but I did tweak the recipe as I did it, even incorporating some of your suggestions...

I just spent about 2 hours trying to piece together a ST Pumking clone, grain extract. 5 lbs Caramunich Malt 3 lb Breiss Pilsen DME (60 min) 6 lb Briess Pilsen DME (30 min-late addition) 4 lbs Canned pumkin, (60 min) 1 lb Milk Sugar (Lactose-30 min-late addition) 1 1/4 tsp...

Thanks for the reply. Any thoughts on how to get these to bottle prime? I'm guessing for the Michigan Maple Ale with the ABV of 9.43% that I will have to find a high alcohol yeast and possibly uncap the bottles and add yeast and recap? Bottle bombs? For the Gale's Prize Old Ale at ABV of...

I now am the proud owner of two beers that did not bottle prime so I compared them for something common. What I found is both had a syrup addition, one Lyles Golden Syrup and one Maple Syrup. Both had high OG, one 1.092 and one 1.089. One ended up with ABV of 6.23% and the other with 9.43%...
