Hello,
I’ve done some searches online and haven’t found any definitive answers.
My question, how can I void siphoning all the pumpkin at the bottom of the carboy. Looks like the bottom 6 inches are full of floating pumpkin bits.
Any ideas?
Keep the racking cane above the debris.
Us a cloths pin, bread bag clamp or shop clamp.
On your next pumpkin batch, I have 2 suggestions:
1.) If you need to use pumpkin in the beer, add it after flameout in a paint strainer bag. then you can just remove the bag (assuming you are fermenting in buckets)
2.) Don’t use pumpkin. The spices are what make a pumpkin beer taste like pumpkin pie. The only things you are extracting from the actual pumpkin are unfermentable starches and pectins.
