Hey Joe, rumor has it you and Nate were going to mash in a pumpkin. Has that happened yet? If so how did it go?

We have mashed in a pumpkin. Fermented in another pumpkin. Racked the pumpkin fermented beer last night, it is a bit funky. We will get pictures together and post the whole story soon.

It is not "a bit" funky. it funks your goddamn socks off!

Here is the photographic evidence.

That is a fantastic pictorial and detailed descriptions. Great job guys! I am anxious to have a taste of this hallow brew.

Gee Nate. Looks like those pics and scripts are taylor-made for another magazine article...

Awesome job guys-- gives us all yet another reason to appreciate this hobby.

What a great fun project. Way to go guys. You guys spared no expense on this experience. And put tons of thought into it to make it even more cool........id at least a tiny sip....congrats!

That is freakin awesome! Awesome job, Nate and Joe. Three thumbs up!

Another guy is inspired from you guys and decided to serve from a pumpkin...

I don't know how smart this is, but if it turns out, it would be a very cool way to brew a pumpkin ale - *in* a pumpkin: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cog_nate/s ... 400060222/

Very original concept... at least I have never seen it before. I am looking forward to your report on how it turned out.

Warm Regards,
Dave

A couple of people have asked me how it turned out. The answer is, I don't know. I was not the one who brewed the beer in a pumpkin. I just came across a link to the flikr page of the guy who did, and forwarded it to the list, because I thought you'd find it interesting. I don't even know him. I guess I wasn't clear enough about that.

He added some more pix over the weekend. It apparently didn't kill him, at least. No report on how it tasted, though. If you want to know more, you'll have to ask him.

Again, sorry for the confusion.

Chris!
That looks very cool!

If it turns out (or not) can you send a link to more pics of the beer clearing and finished product and your description of the brew? We may like to try it with our club or me personally and I was thinking of the same thing but perhaps just serving out of a pumpkin. I would be curious to see if you had any infection problems. Although I guess you shouldn't because the pumpkin should be sanitary inside.

Nice work,
Kurt Stenberg
