Re: Making pumpkins drinkable

Rick,
      Good job on the pumpkins.  first year is the toughest, it WILL get
easier, except around this time of year when you find yourself with a
pretty big one in your patch, and a month left!!  that's when it gets tough
again.
     i'm curious about the pumpkin ale.  my friend has made a couple of
attempts at homebrewing, he has all the stuff to do it, so i'm curious as
to how it's done, maybe i could make a batch of this stuff.

thanks, and good luck
scott





Hello from Washington,

Well they wont be going to any weigh off but maybe (if the frost holds off)
I'll be able to save face around the house come carving time (she is sure
I'm
crazy). I finally have two set that are the size of large grapefruit and
really
taking off!... Ok, Ok stop laughing... it has been a rough year for this
beginner,
this plant was started May 31 to replace the first plantings total
disasters
I had to pull, the kids were so into growing this year I want to try and
harvest
something.

But about fermenting pumpkins;

The early settlers used pumpkins very frequently as a source of
fermentables
for making beer and ale.Homebrewers and also a few micro-brewerys are still
making it as a seasonal special. I have never made any but being a former
professional
brewer, and a homebrewer, I would be happy to assist anyone with
information
if interested in brewing some pumpkin beer.

Brewing beer is nearly as easy as boiling water if you ever wondered.

Rick
