Monday Night Brewery : Atlanta, GA: Brewing the Headless Horseman Pumpkin Ale tonight
Come on by tonight where we’ll be brewing our annual batch of Headless Horseman Pumpkin Ale. It should be interesting. This will be our third year and we’re curious to see what transpires. Our first batch turned out great. We used a partial mash though, so we wanted to step it up our second year brewing it.
Last year we did an all-grain batch and instead of putting the pumpkin in the boil and primary, we threw it in the mash. We also added enough pumpkin spices to keep a pie store in business for the month of October. Mistake. It was like drinking alcoholic potpourri.
We’re hoping to redeem the beer this year. We’ll be doing an all-grain recipe, but will be backing off the spices and adding the pumpkin to the boil and primary fermentation. The goal is to make the beer worthy of the awesome label we developed last year:
Come on by! We’ve got a bunch of beer on tap and another beer that needs redemption. To receive text alerts on your phone about brewing each Monday, sign up here.
