Do you add it to the mash or boil?

I brew a pumpkin ale every year and have learned that adding pumpkin is really to say "yeah, it's made with real pumpkin"...Now I throw in one can of Libby's and call it a day.
I made this last year and it was awesome!! This year I'm thinking of aging on rum or bourbon and oak. The flavors seem like they should compliment it well. Would probably ho very light on the liquor though. Any opinions?
I was about to post the same thing. Our local pub had both Pumking and Oak Aged Pumking on tap last fall, and my wife & I both liked the non-oaked more. I think it was because the flavors were more distinct and pumpkin-pie-like.Well, ST makes oak-aged pumking, so you could try that first if you wanted to sample. I prefer regular pumking over oa pumking, but then I'm not a fan of many oak-aged beers.
Do you add it to the mash or boil?
FYI: Pumking has officially been released to retailers so start stocking up!!!!

Had my first Pumking of the year. Man I love that stuff.
Any one got a clone sample and a 2013 pumking handy to do a taste comparison??
I just picked up two bottles at Wegmans! So far I haven't found a close recipe that matches up to the specs of the bottle? Does anyone have anything that is close? I see the recipe on page 20 comes out to 33 IBUs, but the bottle state that it's only 15.
My bottles do not list IBU's, can you post a picture of yours?

If someone send me a bottle of the clone on pg 20 ill sample it next to the st pumking.
How much vanilla extract are you guys that are cheap like me using? Damn vanilla beans are expensive.
If you send me a bottle of the ST pumking, I will sample it along side my clone attempt....
It should be out soon here, I will post once I do a heads up. I still have some 09/10/11 in the cellar also. May do a little vertical.
I'm getting a case of Pumking today, and my clone is 3 weeks in bottles but still not quite ready. I'll probably give mine a couple more weeks then do a side by side and report back how it goes.Any one got a clone sample and a 2013 pumking handy to do a taste comparison??
Awesome chug!! feel free to shoot me a PM if we can work out a trade so i can try your clone attempt!! I had a few bottles of pumking shipped to me so they will be here on the 28th! please post your recipe so we can see what you did!
Has anyone noticed a chemical or solvent-like nose and/or flavor from this graham cracker extract?
Man, I'd love a reason to not spend $9 on 13mL of extract...
Anyone think mashing these would be a good idea instead of using the extract? Thought they might be better than the regular Nabisco crackers.[/IMG]
