We've gone back to the brew cave and scaled down this extremely popular kit so that you can welcome the coming harvest by brewing up a small batch of our Smashing Pumpkin Ale.
This spiced Amber Ale is infused with nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger. The spices mingle with sweet, toasty malt to frame an intensely flavorful brew. And just like its big brother, you can add real pumpkin to this recipe for a truly smashing, pumpkin ale - just add an extra pound of 6-row and a large straining bag to your order. It's outside the ordinary, delicious, and most of all fun.
Although I am not normally a pumpkin fan, I really enjoyed it.

1 gallon smashing pumpkin. Great flavor!
This was my first 1 gallon brew and I did enjoy making a smaller batch rather than the 5 gallon kitsBut I would’ve liked to have more bottles than the eight that it produced. The results came out pretty good and the taste was right on with the pumpkin flavor but I felt the carbonation was a little light. I have since brewed another gallon batch of another recipe and found similar results with the carbonation. Both gallon recipes use the fizz drops rather than priming sugar and I think that they just don’t provide enough carbonation for the beer. I’m going to look for a 2 gallon recipe kit for my next brew. I’d like to get a bit more than the eight bottles a 1 gallon kit produces.

This turned out great! I did the version with the added pumpkin purée and am really happy with it. The recipe was easy to follow and I will definitely do this one again.
