I've had very good success using White Labs yeast. What's your recipe for the wheat stout?

Time to get your Oktoberfest and pumpkin ales going! Think I'm going to brew my pumpkin spice ale next week. I'll use real pumpkin, half a container of spice, and a stick of cinnamon, 6lbs of LDME, and the white labs cali. ale yeast.

Brewed my first batch yesterday and its bubbling away in the fermentor right now. Can't wait for pumpkin ale

What recipe did you use for the pumpkin ale?

I brewed up a Red Ale IPA from a recipe I created, so we'll see how it goes. I used Columbus for bittering and Hallertau for flavor and aroma.

I've heard their kits are pretty good. My LHBS guy is pissing me off as he's been a real dick lately. I only go there b/c he is THE only beer supply store in town.

Dude, how in the hell are you going to manage 10 gallons???

Has anyone here painted a refrigerator? I'm going to replace my current one and turn it into a kegerator, but it needs a coat of paint bad.

How would you describe the flavor of it? Did you do the 4 gallon boil or the normal 2.5? I normally do a 2.5 gallon boil using the late edition method and seem to get good results.

It has a true earthy taste from the saaz and hallertau but with the sweet fruit balancing it out. I did a 2.5 gal boil, early extract addition with LME.
