Ed's Head Pumpkin Smoked Porter
Brown Porter • Partial Mash • 6 gal
I was going for a classic porter with some smoked malt added to the grain bill. Then I figured why let the jack-o-lantern go to waste so I roasted the pumpkin and then boiled it to get the flavor out of it and will be using it (3 quarts) as part of my brew water. Will brew the week of 11/4/12

I had a taste of this last night and it tastes fantastic.....considering its only been in the keg for about a week. It could still use a little more carbonation, but overall I am very pleased with it.
Fantastic

This beer turned out fantastic!!!!! Everyone that tastes it agrees....you can't taste the pumpkin, but its a porter and I didnt really expect to. It is very smooth and easy drinking. This is definitely added to my "regulars" and will be brewed again, maybe without the pumpkin.
