I like Jamil’s recipe from Brewing Classic Styles…definitely not 6 month aging time.
I also use real pumpkin and double bake it before adding it to the mash.
Read my article coming out in the next issue of Zymurgy 
Doesn’t take 6 months to age.
@homebrew4less.com It’s Raphael!!! Thanks for posting that man…
+1, no aging really needed. I brew mine end of August/ beginning of Sept. and its ready early Oct. I’ll brew it every 2-3 weeks throughout fall/winter because it goes fast!
[u]Check out this one[/u]. It’s one of Charlie P’s recipes and it gives the option for a darker brew. And how can you pass up a recipe where the first direction is to “Chill some homebrew the day before so that it’s ready to enjoy on brew day”?
I really like the darker pumpkin beers… A lot of the flavors I think depend on spicing and not the actual pumpkin, but that’s all part of the pumpkin beer game. A local brewpub makes a pumpkin stout and it is one of my favorite pumpkin beers.
Let us know what you end up brewing!
