I wanted to make an odd beer, something like a fall-friendly pale ale, but not a pumpkin or pumpkin spice beer. I just wanted the malt backbone a bit sweeter. Recipe was: 84% Vienna malt 7% flaked barley 5% acidulated malt 4% 60L Added to the mash: 1 tsp calcium chloride 1 tsp gypsum 1.5...

The last of the Jack-O-Lanterns have been carved, lit, admired, left out to go soft, and been discarded like so many before. Halloween costumes go back in the box, the box goes back in the attic, and our minds turn to the cozier side of Autumn - baked goods, sweaters, hot cocoa, and best of all...

This is my first time making a milk stout, and using pumpkin. I'm not sure what to expect if this will end up being too sickeningly sweet or if it will hit the money just being slightly sweet. Anyone out there make something similar in the past? (I plan to roast the pumpkin first and then put...

Pumpkin Spiced Amber Ale I know, it’s a little late but fall comes late in Southern California. Work asked me to brew a fall beer for a little get together so this is more of an attempt to appease the masses than have 5+ gallons of a PSL beer on hand. Here it is: OG- 1.052 FG- 1.016 ABV- 4.8%...

I wanted to do a Pumpkin Ale using my Pico but they don't offer any such packs. Whats a good base beer (style) for a Pumpkin Ale that I can just add the flavorings to the keg?

I made a Beer Meister Pumpkin Ale extract kit. I put the recipe into Brew Target. I hit the recipe's Original Gravity at 1.056. There were a lot of pumpkin solids in the sample. Does that give incorrect readings for the OG? Here's the main issue I ran into: I bottled today and the final...

Alright guys. So, I may be a little out of my league here, but this is where you guys come in... in helping me learn and make sure I don't screw up. I am wanting to recreate a certain beer. It is more seasonal for around October, as it contains pumpkins, but I want to take a stab at it now so...
