Wait- maybe this should be under "kegging and bottling"...  ;D

I need recommendations: What pumpkin beer should go into the pumpkin keg?

I personally do not like pumpkin spiced beers so I say do a nice fall beer like a fest, an alt or a belgian red ale.

Mmmm, I'm chilling a bottle of 100% Red X saison-Brett to enjoy near the fire tonight.

Seems like a lot of work for 5 liters of beer.  To me at least. 

I remember a couple of articles a year or two age about people actually fermenting and serving from a pumpkin.  Still more work than it's worth to me.   8)

I'd probably get a sanke keg and paint it orange, add a face and serve 16 gallons.
