"A good friend of mine and I decided to brew beer in a pumpkin. This is how we did it."

Saw this, and immediately thought of you guys.

Something for halloween?

How... Halloweenie.

Looks more like moonshine to me...

 

[kuulani]

That's more useful than a regular ol' jack-o-lantern

Thought it would appeal.

'specially given the hops shortage - get the pumpkin beer while you still can!!!

Its an awesome thought... but there is something that bugs me...and it happend to them.

Brewing a good beer requires a sterile and fairly airtight fermenting tank else nasty little bugsies will get in there and turn the whole mess from a nice yeasty, malty, hoppy beverage and transform it into a rotting hog carcass in flavour and appearance overnight.

I think they could have chopped up pumpkin chunks, sterlised them with a brief pass in boiling water, and adding it to the fermentation cycle. It would have made a righteous brew.

that was my first thought...

 

[unclehobart]

Perhaps they could have mocked up a monster fermenting tank. Sterlized the pumpkin as best they could, and then dropped the whole thing in it to isolate it from the decaying bugsies... my precious.

Y'all are a buncha sissies. Nothing like a bit of ebola to enhance the flavour of the brewski.

 

[unclehobart]

Hey... if you want to kick in the chest of a dead hog, pour a beer into it, and then suck it all back out with a straw... be my guest.

 

[BeardofPants]

I'll have you know that that's our national past-time. Real Men (tm) drink piss outta the cold dead husk of the sheeple and all that rot.

Sound like a Speights adsie, you do. *yoda*
