It’s the at time of year again. I’m thinking about making a play on a southern favorite, sweet potato casserole. Sweet potato, warm fall spices, pecans, and toasted marshmallows all packed into a beer that celebrates the fall season.
Brewed this 6 weeks ago and the bottles are disappearing fast. I love pumpkin beer and this may be my favorite. It has a velvety body and great flavor. I added just a hint of vanilla and a shake of spices into the bottling bucket. Gonna do another batch. Would like to have better head retention though. Maybe will add some Cara foam.
Definitely brewing this one this weekend. I like that it isn't overly spiced, which is what I am going for. Any tips or things you would change up? Was three lbs of pumpkin enough? Did you get the roasted flavor or no?
Have you have tried New Belgium Atomic Pumpkin? I enjoy it because like your beer, the pumpkin is subdued - you may like it. I was thinking about your recipe here and wondering how well I can adapt it to emulate Atomic with its' habenero spice and tincture by adding a super hot pepper tincture I made with Flatiron Pepper Co.'s "I can't feel my face" flakes...no kidding - this stuff is deadly. It has Carolina Reaper, Moruga Scorpion, Ghost and Habenero flakes in it. I think I would delete the maple syrup and up the cinnamon...then figure out the dosing - thoughts? Really liked the idea you had roasting the pumpkin first...looks like an awesome beer! Cheers!
Woah sounds intense! I am always a bit timid when it comes to using spicy peppers but I could see it working well with the spices here. I have a new pumpkin spice recipe I am working on. Stay tuned!
Hey! No I love this recipe, wouldn’t change a thing. But the maple does ferment out almost all the way so if you wanted to swap for brown sugar I could see that being quite good
Going to make this tomorrow. I don't have a keg and will be bottling instead. Would you still add the maple syrup to the boil or would you wait till bottling day?
I use percentages since everyone has different levels of efficiency. I recommend plugging your system into a brewing software and then start adding the fermentables until you hit the right percentages and OG. I think I had roughly 11lbs total grains plus pumpkin
Hey thanks. Try using a brewing software, there are some free ones out there. They allow you to add ingredients and it gives you percentages of each. Then just keep adding them until you hit the OG for your size batch. Good luck!
Should I worry if I got a lower gravity? I got 1.042 as the original gravity. I did a sparge so it might be that but this is now in the fermenter but I don't know if I should just get rid of it and start over. I know I can fix it with some DME but I'm a newbie and I don't want to mess it up. I just don't want to end up with a watery beer :(.
I would just see how it turns out. It’s not like you were majorly off so it shouldn’t be too watery. Maybe just not have the full body that my recipe has. Next time just add some DME like you said, little at time until you hit the OG you’re looking for
@@TheBruSho Wow, thank you for your response! I got all worried and got some more malts (since I ran out of the Maris Otter) and was planning on redoing it but I think I'll keep this one and brew a smaller batch being more careful with the amount of water I use and then compare each one. Thank you!
Once again, late to the viewing, but crazy well done! I've always liked the Pumpkin Beer and really want to try one (maybe a 10L batch). Keep on keeping on!
I'm in the process of updating the descriptions to include weights, but I went ahead and did it on this one for ya. But I recommend using a brewing software to determine the amounts for you, because you will probably have a different efficiency % and might need more or less. That's why I use percentages. Good luck!
He says that he used 3lbs of pumpkin and that the pumpkin was 21% by weight of the fermentables. We should be able to figure it out based on that. Hope this helps
@@maliceinchains7254 thanks! I ended up doing similar calculations from the 4oz of maple syrup. But there must be a way to find the weights in recipes without pumpkin or syrup! Is there usually a grain weight to water volume ratio given?
I don’t use them since everyone has different levels of efficiency. You should be able to calculate the amounts very easily with a brewing software. But I realize now people are confused by this and I have been changing thing in upcoming videos

I tried this recipe out with a little bit more pumpkin pie spice. WOW, super delicious. My friend's kicked the keg during a fall party.
I’m so happy to hear that! Usually brew it every year but not this one, I’m missing it!
Brilliant video. That beer looks great. I liked the end when you drank with the pumpkin head on. Lol. Cheers 😎👍
Haha thank you!!
Your vids are so high quality and entertaining. Your editing is top tier. Thanks for the great content. I hope to see another seasonal brew this fall
Thank you so much, and yes I got a few fun ideas for the season!
I'll 2nd that. Good production and editing.
@@CarlPapa88 thank you!
Fantastic !

Brewed this last year. It was fantastic, best pumpkin beer I've had. Doing a double batch this year
Love it! Def gonna brew it again this year too
Brewed this came out pretty good. I love a good pumpkin beer and this has definitely found its way into my rotation from here on out.
I love to hear that! Thank you!
Doing this as my Christmas beer this year instead of my usual stout type beer brilliant cheers 🍻👍
Gotta try this recipe. Loved the ending! Gave me a good chuckle. 🍻
Haha thanks, this was a fun one to make
Thanks for such a great recipe!!! I made this and it turned out great :)
Love to hear that!! Happy Halloween!
I love this fall video! The beer looks delicious and spooooky 🎃 🍻
Thank you! Yeah I have to have one on tap every fall!
Looks like a great beer - well done. And another very watchable video.
Thank you, I had a lot of fun making this one
Thanks for the vid brotha! Going to try this recipe out!
Awesome! Let me know what Michonne thinks!
I’m not a fan of pumpkins in general but I Loved the video ! Perfect atmosphere for Halloween which I do love 🍻🍻🍻
I can respect that but glad you liked the vid! Thanks man!
Maybe I should try that recipe, who knows and I become a big fan of pumpkin the truth is that I had pumpkin once in my life hahahah
Hahaha! Yeah it isn’t overly pumpkin-y. I’m not a huge fan of most pumpkin beers until I made one I liked ha
@@TheBruSho Great ! that’s what Homebrew is all about! 🍻🍻
Damn good video! Keep up the video! I'll be brewing my version of a pumpkin ale soon! Cheers bro!
Thank you glad you enjoyed it and happy brewing man!
Definitely brewing this one this weekend. I like that it isn't overly spiced, which is what I am going for. Any tips or things you would change up? Was three lbs of pumpkin enough? Did you get the roasted flavor or no?
Your videos are so amazing! And this beer looks so tasty 🎃👻🍺

Maybe I'll brew a pumpkin ale... love the color
send one over!
Hahah do you have any good pumpkin beers in your area?
Awesome video very nicely put together. I'm personally terrified of pumpkin beer however you manage to make it look pretty damn tasty 🍻
Don’t fear the gourd ha! Thank you!
I would LOVE to see you make some Perry!
Stay tuned for this Sunday, I got something in the works!
I’m looking to brew this. Anything you’d change? Also does the maple syrup come through at all? Or should I just do brown sugar instead?
Hey! No I love this recipe, wouldn’t change a thing. But the maple does ferment out almost all the way so if you wanted to swap for brown sugar I could see that being quite good
Will be doing this recipe next weekend
Awesome, I guess pumpkin season is almost here!
@@TheBruSho anything I should do different since I'm bottling mine
@@mommymilkers4119 no just your normal bottling process should work fine!
Going to make this tomorrow. I don't have a keg and will be bottling instead. Would you still add the maple syrup to the boil or would you wait till bottling day?
Still add to boil. It will ferment out and then you can bottle condition as normal
Nice cutscenes!
recipe looks amazing .Is there any way you can break down the grain bill into pounds?
I use percentages since everyone has different levels of efficiency. I recommend plugging your system into a brewing software and then start adding the fermentables until you hit the right percentages and OG. I think I had roughly 11lbs total grains plus pumpkin
How did the maple come through?
Hi Trent, I really like this video. Can you help me with the recipe please. I always done extract kits so I don't get the quantities.
Hey thanks. Try using a brewing software, there are some free ones out there. They allow you to add ingredients and it gives you percentages of each. Then just keep adding them until you hit the OG for your size batch. Good luck!
Wait....are we not supposed to put our pans in the bottom oven drawer?!

Late comment, but has anyone tried this with a smoked malt?
Once again, late to the viewing, but crazy well done! I've always liked the Pumpkin Beer and really want to try one (maybe a 10L batch). Keep on keeping on!
Thank you! Yeah pumpkin beers can be great in my opinion. Especially if you tweak it to your liking
What was your total grain weight? I see you used percentages. I'm doing a 5gallon batch
I'm in the process of updating the descriptions to include weights, but I went ahead and did it on this one for ya. But I recommend using a brewing software to determine the amounts for you, because you will probably have a different efficiency % and might need more or less. That's why I use percentages. Good luck!
How do we calculate the total weight of the grain bill?
He says that he used 3lbs of pumpkin and that the pumpkin was 21% by weight of the fermentables. We should be able to figure it out based on that. Hope this helps
@@maliceinchains7254 thanks! I ended up doing similar calculations from the 4oz of maple syrup. But there must be a way to find the weights in recipes without pumpkin or syrup! Is there usually a grain weight to water volume ratio given?
@@HarrisHorology I think 1.5 quarts of water per pound of grain is pretty typical
I like it
Thank you!
Would be nice if you used the amount of pounds and ounces for the grain bill.
I don’t use them since everyone has different levels of efficiency. You should be able to calculate the amounts very easily with a brewing software. But I realize now people are confused by this and I have been changing thing in upcoming videos
Love the intro
Thank you! 💀🍺
I heard it comes with firewood!
Make a sweet potato IPA!
Woahh I might just have to! Have you done it before?
@@TheBruSho yep! It's a great fall alternative to pumpkin beer.
@@GenusBrewing awesome will give it a try thanks!
Maca beer
if helium brewing pumpkin beer more interesting
