Hello pumpkin pt.2
Well, the day I swore would never happen is upon us! I’ve spent 9 years refusing all requests to brew a pumpkin ale but the pressure has finally gotten too much and I’ve caved in! Yeah, “U-turn” city baby! So assistant brewer Justin and myself spent the morning chopping pumpkins and removing seeds etc. Our chef Freddie is roasting them right now and we’ll be dividing the roasted pumpkin flesh between the mash and the boiling wort. It’s going to be a long, long day in the brewery. I only hope that we can get through it in time to stop by Metropolitan for a pint or two of Pagan Porter with Vanilla. I’ll be posting updates throughout the day.
