I think we're going to need some more info here.......
I'm guessing that, since you have more than 1000 posts, that you're taking the piss. Just a guess..

I also thought it might have been roasted red bell peppers.

Yea, it seems that's all I'm using for yeast now, a couple of firsts for this yeast with this batch, 1st wheat batch (More pumpkin than wheat though, hehe), and first batch with "top cropped" sample. Some day I'll get around to actual testing where I can quantify the results, i.e. "lighter beers".

That looks like a tasty beef stew, but where's the picture of the beer?
Do tell, Pastor Rev...this was lost on me.
HUH?
Oh you don't know about Colo's other epic thread...Can I culture yeast from Juniper Berries?
Actually our Brother from Pea Green Colorado has a ton of epic threads!

It's ok... it looks like COLO already threw up in his beer.
I thought it was roasted peppers, myself.
Look like a perfectly normal reinheitsgebot compliant brew to me.

Yup, it's still infected.
Actually, primary is winding down, this picture is after I punched it down. The yeast have been chewing on the pumpkin so the chunks are just sort of hollow shells that I've been smashing and breaking up.
Smells great, just like a pumpkin pie. It's going to be a grande brew.

I will say that this is awesome. My swmbo feels that the whole process of making beer is gross. So I have made the first pic of your brew her new desktop screen picture on her lap top. She is gonna love it!

Took a hydro sample of this today, it's already down to 1.012. It has a wonderful roasted pumpkin aroma, I tasted it and initially its got a pronounced spicy flavor melded nicely with the pumpkin, this is followed by the most excruciatingly bitter after taste I've ever witnessed, not like hops, more like chewing on a burnt lemon rind or maybe old rubber tire mixed with pine tar, it's bad, almost gag reflex bad.
So I scraped all the muck out of it and will let it settle a bit, then rack it for secondary, maybe that will help but I doubt it. I'm pretty sure this is from too much spices for too long, probably the cloves or ginger, didn't taste this after the boil though.
don't try this at home kids:cross:
