So I brewed a witbier at the request of my fiance, who loves Blue Moon. I used the kit from norther brewer. It turned out darker than I expected, but the flavor was perfect. I ended up bringing it to my friend’s party saturday night and it was a hit! We killed an entire case of it, and learned just how alcoholic it was. I calculated it around 3.8%, which to me seemed on the low side, but it was still enough to get you drunk. Now I just have to peel and scrape off 24 labels… My friends have already requested a pumpkin ale for halloween. Time to get brewing again.
True & congrats on a successful brew… FWIW I’m not sure I’d want my friends getting drunk on Pumpkin Ale though. Can’t say I have any personal experience but my gut feeling says no, no, no, OH NO! You might consider some BMC or another homebrew to help offset the pumpkin. Cheers!!

A little trick I learned from the guys at Avery Brewing in Boulder, CO… Most commercial breweries use an ammonia soluable glue - so, the next time you get a sixer of your favorite craft brew and you want to re-use the bottles, give a little soak time in a buck of ammonia and water!
I’ve found that this works well on your run-of-the-mill printer labels too -
