CAPE Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Speaking of pumpkin beers.....the uinta punk'n ale is really good. Southern Tier PUMPKING is awesome. It smells like pumpkin pie(to me), and has just the right amount of pumpkin and spice flavors in the background. Not at all sweet. 8.6% abv, so you get your beer value along with your food value. The other pumpkin beer I really like is Dogfish Punkin Ale. I've tried 2 or 3 others and nothing really stood out. Shock Top one was ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Elysian's Dark O The Moon (pumpkin stout) was pretty good. A little heavy on the cinnamon, but at least it wasn't clove/allspice. Schafly's was a solid "not too spicy" pumpkin. I saw a bomber of Shipyard's bourbon barrel aged Smashed pUmpkin, but didn't feel like putting down $18 for it.

Hop and vines down the street from you off Piney O Pkwy has a nice selection of seasonal brews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I haven't been there. I usually stick to Corridor or Perfect Pour (the latter of course more expensive, but best selection). A place that has a surprisingly good selection of beer is Odenton Liquors in the shopping center where Superfresh used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 If you are in the Colorado area.... Imperial Pumpkin (ale) from Dry Dock (Aurora, CO). I discovered it due to my brother who brought me back some last fall while he was out in CO. So good that I attempted to get a local shop to acquire, but they could not import from CO.

mattie g Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 It looks like you have a good plan, and you're right that the extract makes for a tasty brew. It's always a good sign when you start hearing the first "glub, glub, glub" from the fermenter. What are you fermenting in? I usually do a primary in a 7 gallon bucket and I'm wondering how you can see it. Thanks. I like to think I learn pretty quickly by doing something, and the level of comfort will go way up as I brew a couple more times, so I'm biding my time until I go the partial mash route. My primary is a 6.5-gallon carboy, so you can see everything going on inside. It's really helpful for me to be able to see the process as it happens. The main problems with the carboy are getting cleaning it and carrying it with five gallons of liquid in it (just a *little* unwieldy!). It can also be a little tricky to get wort into it, but you can just siphon it or use a big funnel. Annapolis Home Brew has a deal where you can get the starter kit and exchange the bucket for the carboy for a little extra. Made sense to me to do it that way. You're right on first hearing the airlock gurgling away. Such a good feeling that you've done enough to at least have something to drink at some point!

EastCoast NPZ Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Prepare for the most epic winter in history. The Cowboys are 5-1 and playing like the early 90s Cowboys, and it rained in Stephens City. Clearly, hell has frozen over. Just imagine what that means for all of us at higher elevation.

It's just an attempt to start a discussion around an interesting subject (early freeze). Who cares? Talking about snow on the 300+ hr GFS is banter. If he wanted to talk about how the GFS suddenly has a colder look for late this weekend, it could have gone in the obs or freeze thread. I'm with Ian on this one.
