I'm moving my pumpkin ale into secondary tonight, it's SG is 1.20 down from 1.81. I'm pretty sure that I need to repitch, but should I use the same yeast that I started with WLP300 (Hefeweizen). I was looking for banana and clove notes, but I wound up with a lot of clove- an almost mouth numbing...

Not sure if anyone mentioned this in the thread, didn't read all the pages, but in iTunes university there is a lecture series from the University of Alabama about zombies in the media. I think it's 8 or 9 episodes long and it is pretty informative about the fascination with zombies. Basically...

I would only use half a star anise, that stuff is super permeating.

I used 10.0lbs Amber LME, 2.0lbs 40L Crystal, 1.0lb Biscuit, and 30 oz. Pumpkin Pie Mix. It tasted pretty good before I pitched the yeast and the fermentation took off within 8 hours from the starter I had made ~0.5 gallon.

I have an electric kettle that I use to get 5 gallons of water boiling. The kettle kicks off around ~190 degrees and it gets 1.75L of water there in about 3 minutes. Then I just add the water to the pot and keep that burner on high while I refill the kettle and start again. $20 kettle, well...

Howdy!

Hey all! I decided to join the forum after I learned how valuable of a resource it is while I was brewing over the weekend. Looking forward to sharing many brews to come with everyone here!
