Question on pumpkin ale: what type of pumpkin is best to use in brewing?

Regular pumpkin or
Canned pumpkin

And how much do you need for a 5 gal recipe.

Thx!

Remember that the President bought a "kit" for the white house cooks. It looks like he bought from Brewer's Best. Those are extract kits.

If you are willing to travel a little farther north to Santa Rosa, get Pliny on tap and bottle at RRBC on 4th st.

Kegging and Bottling / How Full Should We Fill Our Kegs?

I just fill mine till my secondary is empty, minus the gunk. I still have headroom for CO2.

I ruined two batches of beer using a garden hose. If you are going to use tap water, take it straight from the hose bibb.

An engineer gave me a controller with that programming language. It comes with a "beer" temp controller program. There are a few bugs I am working out in it. I'll let you know when I get it done.

The duct tape is covering up little screw holes and the main hole for my tap (that now is installed.) everything is working well. Got a good head retention on my beer. Thanks for the other thread on forced carbonation. I am looking to buy a used single door fridge for future "megarator". I'll supply pix when it happens. Here is the inside by the way:
