I'm getting ready to brew my annual seasonal adventure. Pumpkin Ale. I already have my oven roasted pumpkin and now just waiting for just the right style hops to be delivered from my supplier. My recipe scored very well in the annual Sam Adams Longshot homebrew contest. The judges made some suggestions on how I can improve the recipe and I'll give it another shot (submission) come May 2015. I used Galena hops for bittering last year, but i think they are a little too strong for this style ale. So this year, I am going to try using Czech Saaz (a noble) for bittering and Williamette for aroma. Let's hope its brews up nice and spicy.

So after a good long primary and secondary fermentation, I finally bottled my Pumpkin Ale #1 of 2014. I hope it comes out as delicious as it sounds.
