Fall is my favorite season for beer...fresh hops, pumpkin ales, oktoberfests. If there's one thing I love to drink, it's a pumpkin beer. Only problem is that I haven't found the perfect one. If I could mix Weyerbacher's Imperial Pumpkin with Southern Tier Pumking, I think that would be close.
This is my first attempt at a "custom" recipe. I started with a Midwest Supplies kit and added a few things. It is brewing right now; I'm interested to see what everyone thinks of the recipe. I'll post a follow-up in 6 weeks when I'm drinking it.
