Now we wait...


The pumpkin ale is in the bottles.  Looks mighty fine! Here are some pictures from bottling day:


Ended up with 36 bottles, which isn't bad considering most of the starting volume was from the pumpkin.  This beer has an amazing orange color. The taste is still to spicy (cinnamon and cloves), but you cant even tell there is alcohol in this beer.  That is a little scary since its around 7.2% ABV.  I think a couple weeks in the bottles with mellow out the spice and make this an excellent fall beer.  Still no label to show with this yet, still working on it as well as the artist who is working on the image for this particular brew.

May start working on my red beer this weekend, need to check if I have an empty keg to clean and that all the seals are well.  Last time I checked one was leaking CO2 so it wouldn't stay carbonated.  This is all for now.
