That time of year for Pumpkin Ale

Thu Sep 06, 2007 2:39 am

I would like to brew some pumpkin ale lickey split. I know I'm probably pushing it time wise for Halloween, but it would still be nice. I've done tons of searching and found a variety of recipes.

I'm looking for extract or partial mash recipe. The recipe could use or not use actual pumpkin, but if it does I would like canned(no spices or preservatives)

Any thoughts?

Last time I asked for a recipe on this forum I brewed a great beer.

Thanks in advance,
Matt

Not to hijack the thread here but I'd really appreciate an ecxcellent pumkin ale all grain recipe...I'm sick of brewing mediocre ones. I like Buffalo Bills never tried Shipyards.

Here's one I like, but it's bit different.

Saison Automne Potiron (Pumpkin)

But really most of the time if you're going to do a pumpkin ale, the key that everyone notices are the spices more so than the pumpkin.

J Brew. I agree with your Buffalo Bill comment. I love their beer.

I did find this article from BYO about Buffalo Bill and pumpkin

Dude !!! a Belgian pumpkin Saison... I'm brewing that.

Never seen canned pumpkin here in Australia, but Ill just use the fresh stuff and roast it instead.

Thanks for that.
