Seth Schramm Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 New to the community and just purchased BrewDroid and BrewFlo. Interested in trying the Wicked Night Pumpkin Ale. Has anyone tried this yet? I see that you have to purchase some of your own spices as well according to the BrewPrint or did I read that wrong? I see the unit is in grams which I'm not terribly familiar with. Has anyone converted these values into teaspoons? Thanks again in advance.

John Snafu Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 super late but this is the first brew I made with my Brewart. I used a kitchen scale to weigh out the spices, it wasnt as exact as I would have liked, and the spices were whole, I did crush them a little with a spoon before I threw the in the pot of boiling water. I suppose if they were powdered they would have been tough to strain out. The end result was perfectly tasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris & Jane Buckland Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hi people, just wanted to check the extra ingredients/spices for this one. My slip of paper gives the grams of the spices as 1.25 g, which I've converted to 1/2 + 1/8 of a teaspoon - so not very much. The star anise though says 75 g - which would be close to 100 pods - way more than I've ever put in anything! Is my slip wrong? Should it be 7.5 g? Those that have made this ale - did you use the full 75 g? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a good brew, let us know what you think when consuming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much what I suspected and did find the correct information when I checked the details on the brewprint in the app. I'll definitely let you know how it turns out. I was really happy with the Julebryg Spiced lager which you do a similar thing with so looking forward to this one Edited March 17, 2019 by Chris & Jane Buckland Corrected spelling... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meredith LC Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Anyone know if this will come back for fall 2019? I am a new BeerDroid owner and would love to try my hand at a pumpkin ale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pumpkin ale is available here in Australia at the moment but that may not help you. (Can you easily purchase the ingredients?) Perhaps contact the Brewart Store by email. Let us know how you go.

Hey Meredith, if this isn't available as a print on the American website then purchase the individual ingredients as such 1 X E1 2 X E2 1 X (X1) 1 X (X2) 1 X (X3) 1 X h7 1 X Y3 Brewing program Ale Brew Notes: This brew requires additional ingredients that you will need to source; 0.75gm Star Anise, 1.25gm Cinnamon, 1.25gm Nutmeg, 1.25gm All Spice, 1.25gm Ginger, 1.25gm Clove. After fermentation, boil 1 cup of water, add spices and infuse for 15 minutes, strain into BeerDroid along with single Hop pouch addition. Beware when brewing this bold beer, due to it’s vigorous fermentation it may overflow from the vent port for the first 48 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darran Haynes Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Visiting the markets this weekend to pick up the spices for this bad boy... Assuming by 'ginger' I'm literally getting a ginger knob and shaving 1.25g? Ingredients seem so miniscule but will play it smart and stick to what's been instructed!

Yes, I’d say you would grate the ginger, (making a tea), steep for say 30min in just boiled water, (use a hop bag) remove and boil liquid for 5 min to kill any bacteria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meredith LC Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Just cracked open my first bottle after 4 weeks secondary and it's really nice. I ended up adding 4x the amount of spices and added 4 grams of pumpkin pie spice because I wanted heavier spice notes based on my love of Southern Tier's Pumking. I'd definitely brew again, perhaps adding an X5 for added alcohol content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting how this develops over time but waiting can be a big problem in this game 🤔🥱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep quite happy with it (better than the Revolution Dark Later IMO) but the RIS remains the crown jewel so far! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
