#11 Pumpkin Ale

When starting the primary fermentation this beer had a ton of solids
-Jeff

This beer was brewed with fresh pumpkin. Three sugar pumpkins purchased and roast for about 30 minutes, then skin removed and put into the kettle with the adjunct grains for pre-boil. The beer smelled great, and the pumpkin was reused to make amazing pumpkin bread and pumpkin bars.
