Product details

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 every fall, 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.

Learn how to incorporate actual vegetables in this 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.

One of my favorites

Just love this recipe. I add fresh pumpkins to the recipe, have to use a blowoff tube it ferments so hard. Can't keep this one around very long, usually make two batches. Great for my fall tailgates. Of the many recipes I use, this is my wife's favorite.

We have made this twice, kegging it the second time. Added more pumpkin pie spice the second time, and this fall when we make, we will add some vanilla.

Smashing Pumpkin Ale

Bottled this last week. Kept it in primary for 3 weeks and skipped secondary fermentation. Start to drink should be about 5 weeks. Otherwise, just followed the directions. ABV is around 5.3% and it gives off a nice, subtle pumpkin smell.

Added 2 packs of yeast so it came out pretty strong. But it's been my favorite kit so far.
