Ive been reading around several different recipes and have found a variety of techniques used in making a pumpkin brew, and I was wondering if anyone has any feedback for which ones they've found that work best.
1) Ive seen some people bake the pumpkin, peel the skin and cube it then boil it, then put the cubed pumpkin in for the fermentation.
2) Ive seen where some people do it the same, except that they don't cary the pumpkin over to the fermentation phase
3) Ive seen some people put the raw pumpkin in at the begining of the boiling phase and just boil it for a longer period before adding the malt, etc.
4)Ive seen someone that just added the pumpkin into the fermentation bucket, and didnt boil it at all.
Anyone have any feedback on any of these methods? or any other method that proved to work out well. Ive heard of crushing the pumpkin itself up, but this seems like it would lead to more sediment, both in the fermentation bucket and the bottles themselves.
Thanks!
