Inspired by the American Homebrewers Association cover story in Zymurgy about pumpkin ales we thought it would probably be a good idea to start planning for the next change of season. Of course when the recipe suggested a split batch of with pumpkin on one side and a saison on the other I was hooked. This one took a little extra time though... there was a 10 minute protein rest, a 90 minute mash and a 90 minute boil! But we stuck our mash temp at 154 degrees and the cold crash only took 30 minutes so I think we are (finally) getting a little skilled at this ... only took what 10 brews!! Ah well... we haven't had a major flop yet.
