Time to Brew!

Autumn comes, and a homebrewer's thoughts turn to capturing the sensory experience of the season...crisp nights, colorful leaves, and ripe gourds ready for pie-making. Pumpkin beer recipes are always a hit at this time of year, and it's easy to understand why this one's our favorite. Sipping this spiced amber ale is like drinking a slice of pie.

Delight and impress your friends with this perfect brew for fall. Smashing Pumpkin Ale recipe is clean and sweetly malty, with just enough hop bitterness to balance. A dose of select spices at the end of the boil imbues the beer with a complex, lingering spice profile full of nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger that persists from the first pour to the last swish in the glass.

Read our blog post on how to use real vegetables in a pumpkin beer recipe. You'll need to purchase an additional 2 or 3 pounds of Rahr 6-row and provide your own 8 to 10 pound pumpkin (winter squash like butternut or acorn will work if pumpkin is out of season). Cut up the gourd, discard the innards, and roast or microwave the pieces until soft and cooked through, then peel. Mash the peeled, cooked pumpkin flesh with the 6-row and the included grains at 152°F for 1 hour before sparging and proceeding with the boil.

I make this every fall, awesome brew.

No scary spirits in this brew. Cooking, smashing and adding the pumpkin to the grains prior to the seeping pays off. Yum, 🍺 🍺 Yum, yummy.

Viable but...

This is the first order through mail after all local stores decided to close, and I was skeptical. Grains and hops are easy, but yeast through mail is not ideal except in the winter. The recipes were packaged well and the yeasts were sent separately, but they all arrived at the same time, and the yeast and the ice pack were all *warm*. I made the recipes anyway and they ended up fine with no off flavors. That said, I guess I'll have to schedule my brews in the winter months only because I'm not taking that chance every time.

Great base beer

I brewed this recipe three times. Once as is, once a the pumpkin porter variant, and then I kicked the pumpkin porter variant up a notch by adding 3 pounds of DME to make an imperial pumpkin porter. I've had a lot of fun playing around with it. I donated the regular pumpkin ale to a charity event, and they emptied the keg in an hour and a half.
