Pumpkin ale advise

[jonnyp1980]

You think added lactose would make it taste like whip cream finish in the beer?

Depends on your recipe might go well with a porter?

I like Pumpking the best of all. I tried to make a pumpkin ale like it. I started with Midwest's Pumpkin Ale kit. I bakesn2 cans of pumpkin sprinkled with pumpkin pie spice and added it with 10 mins left. Primary for 10 days, added a tea of 1 cup water, 2t of pumpkin pie space, and 1T of pure vanilla to secondary for 5 days. Bottled it last weekend and won't touch it for 2 months. Hoping it comes out ok.

That sounds delicious. Definitely let us know how it comes out

Really curious to hear your opinion on how the graham crackers contributed to your beer...

So I'm brewing my pumpkin today. Decided to large cans of Libby's spread out on a baking sheet smothered with brown sugar and molasses topped with graham crackers. Baked that up. Then soaked in at 155 degree for 35 plus min. Then I steeped my grains and continued as normal. Spice mix added at flameout. Secondary will consist of vanilla bean spices and some top shelf bourbon. I really have no clue what this will come out like. I'm treating this like cooking food. Taste as I go and add when needed. Ill videotape my results on my YouTube channel.

I am also curious, but mostly because of the bourbon. That sounds heavenly.

I am to lol. It was about two packages. In another week or so I'll crack one open.

I added one ounce of liquor. I would have added more but I was scared it would take over the pumpkin pie taste.

Brewing my pumpkin ale as we speak, used 3 cans (90oz) Libby's Pumpkin Pie Filling, and 2 bags crushed up graham crackers, mixed them in, baked at 350 for 30 min, stirred, baked another 20. Looking and smelling amazing. About to add them with the LME once the initial boil starts...

Well since my friend and I are in a little competition with these pumpkin beers I was thinking before the actual home brewer pumpkin contest video we are hosting at the end of oct. so whenever his is done and we can review them. I'll post pics of some of the process before that.

Popped one a few days ago and it wasn't fully carbed. Had one today and its getting there. So far it tastes great. My friend put his to bottle a little bit ago. So soon we will be doing our competition review.

Nice. How did your beer turn out? What is the recipe for it?

 

[jonnyp1980]

My beer turned out great. Problem is that I made it way too early. So by the time joe had his ready my flavors faded. We did a video of the winner and his recipe which I highly recommend brewing. It was very good and it was better than mine when it was in its prime. I'll post my recipe when I get a chance. But here's the link to his video with recipe.
