Welcome from Middle Island, first brew day and 2 batches I like your spirit
Welcome from Rocky Point! Glad to hear you can brew with your dad. Let us know how the beer comes out.
So we bottled both batches today. Pumpkin started at 1.054 and ended at 1.012, the Holiday started at 1.062 and also ended at 1.012. Both smelled great and the pumpkin tasted great as well. The holiday tasted like alcohol, hoping that bottle conditioning for 6 weeks or so will mellow that out
Sounds great. I find that time helps big beers, spiced beers, Belgian beers and others too.
I've got my Christmas Beer on tap now. My wife likes it, which is far from automatic. I'll see how it goes at Thanksgiving.

Welcome to the forum and the hobby.
So we decided to drink some those pumpkin beers that we brewed a while back on Thanksgiving and they turned out pretty damn good for a first try at it. 2 complaints that I had were that it was a little too dark, would have liked it to be a little more see through but I don't think that it messed up the flavor any. And I would have also like for it to have a little bit more of a mouth feel, I feel like it finished a little too dry
You'll work it all out through practice. In the meantime, be proud that you made good beer on your first try. It took me almost a year to do better than "okay".
