I'm brewing a pumpkin beer......I've never been a big fan, but the wife likes them. I guess sometimes you need to sacrifice a brew day for the ones you love. With that said, I may be putting my own spin on it...maybe a rye pumpkin. Happy brew day. 

I've never had a pumpkin ale, any in particular worth seeking out?
I have made 3 pumpkin beers. As far as someone stating sparge nightmare, add 1 lb of rice hulls to the mash. No worries. ;-)
Happy Brewing!
