#241347 - 09/20/11 05:51 PM Yam-Otta Harvest Ale
BigEaredMonkey Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 05/22/10 Posts: 769 Loc: Monkey Country, Oregon	Decided to take Jon's advice and make a yam based ale instead of using pumpkin. Ended up going with some Maris Otter for the base...looking forward to this one for sure.

Jon_TWR I'm the white rabbit. Brewmeister Dubbel Registered: 12/17/09 Posts: 12000 Loc: Brooklyn, NY	You may find you need to do an extra sparge to get to your boil volume...those yams really make the mash a sticky mess, and lautering takes forever! But, the results are totally worth it! Good luck! _________________________ CCBBA Yeast Trials Favorite recipes: Drunken Druid (Mr. Beer),JPA (All Grain)...there are more that go here, I will add them later.

BigEaredMonkey Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 05/22/10 Posts: 769 Loc: Monkey Country, Oregon	Good to know...I'll post some photos etc when it happens...Really looking forward to it...Any thoughts about a pumpkin ale to try though? To be honest, I've never had a pumpkin ale before so I have no frame of reference. _________________________ ~It's ALWAYS more fun with Monkeys~ Primary: N/A Secondary: N/A ON TAP: Yam-Otta Harvest Ale - 9/24/2011 - 5.5% - BJCP 36 Kegged: Oaked Chocolate Cherry Brandy Stout - 10/28/2011 - 5% - BJCP 25/30 Honey Ace ESB - 11/13/2011 - 5.8% - BJCP 29.33 Gone: A/G DFH 90 Minute Clone 3/19/2011 - 7.32% A/G Chocolate Cherry Stout 4/10/2011 - 6.4% A/G eSAb Sorachi Ace ESB 5/1/2011 - 6.0% A/G Hatchet Kitty's Georgia Peaches - 6/12/2011 - 6.0% A/G Blondie's P3 - WoodCock Johnson Tribute - 8/12/2011 - 5.9% Labor Day Lemon Wheat - 9/5/2011 - 5.8% - BJCP 26.67 Upcoming: Szechuan Saison ???

Jon_TWR I'm the white rabbit. Brewmeister Dubbel Registered: 12/17/09 Posts: 12000 Loc: Brooklyn, NY	I like pumking, I think it's by Southern Tier. And of course Dogfish Head's Punkin' Ale is always a good choice. _________________________ CCBBA Yeast Trials Favorite recipes: Drunken Druid (Mr. Beer),JPA (All Grain)...there are more that go here, I will add them later.

psuchunk03 That's what she said... Brewmeister Registered: 01/01/10 Posts: 6979 Loc: St. Louis, MO	Shipyard's pumpkin beer is pretty decent, and i think it's more widely distributed. _________________________ "Only a fool learns from his mistakes; a wise man learns from the mistakes of others." - Otto von Bismarck Fermenting: Carbing / Conditioning: #24 Keep Calm and Brew On E.S.B. #21 Colonial Ale Drinking: Pipeline is empty On Deck (...eventually): Hefeweizen, Scottish Ale, Kenny's Fat Tire clone "It Has Big Taste"
