with the weather *finally* cooling down...(well...so i thought until i just looked at the paper today and saw that it is supposed to be 80 degrees on friday...whaaaa?) and the holidays approaching we decided to start brewing again! i made a cream ale and added some pumpkin spice (last year i did a nutty brown and added roasted pumpkin puree and you couldn't really taste the pumpkin - so i changed it up) i also decided to do an ale without grains and not as much hops to make it more of a creamy pumpkin-y flava...hopefully...
we had 3 worts going at once - all females...hopefully we can recruit more females, but due to space (and time - it takes about 3 1/2 hours start to finish) 3 is good :)
like a good little brewer i took my attenuation levels - my OG was 1.062 - it was supposed to be 1.052 - not sure what that will mean...the best part though is that if it doesnt turn out good - i still have time to possibly brew another before Christmas!

This fascinates me.
they sell wine making kits at my brew store too! i have only talked with one person who has done it and they said it was NAST!
Um, creamy pumpkin ale (with no hops) sounds like heaven to me. Can I place an order?
don't worry paige - you are on the gift list! if it turns out good that is!
