Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale

It's that time again, when various pumpkin beers hit the market. I like the packaging of this one but I'm not getting any "pumpkin" from the taste. I've tried adding my own pumpkin spice syrup to beer but the sweetness of the syrup doesn't mix well with it. Maybe I should try adding just the typical pumpkin pie spices. (ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon) and leave out the sugar and water. Any recommendations?

Pumpkin Spice Liqueur: Vintage Bottles

I'm extremely happy with how this entire project turned out! I'll continue to make this and if there are any changes to the recipe, I'll post them.



This photo is a little washed out but you get the idea. I let it sit in a big bottle for a couple months and then poured it into smaller bottles. The liqueur cleared up a LOT leaving the sediment in the bottom of the big bottle and giving the final product a nice orange color and clarity.

Scent Your Fog with FrankenScents!!

Keep an "eyeball out" for FrankenScents.

It's due to open soon!

Here are some of the fog scents that FrankenScents will be offering:

Swamp - a damp, cool, swampy marsh
Charred Corpse - disgustingly real burnt flesh
Autopsy - a caustic deathly musk, formaldehyde
Creepy Carnival - A gothic circus in scent form
Hell - Fire and Brimstone, and sulfurous magma
Forest - A mysterious, dark wooded forest.
Laboratory - The smell of smoke, machinery and rubber
Hayride - Pumpkins and hay
Powder Keg - Great for pirates or prospectors, canon-fire or mine shafts.
Zombie Breath - what death's breath smells like in the morning
Voodoo'd - smell of a voodoo rite around a campfire
Urine - Pee! Smelled in hospitals, pottys, asylums, and public transportation
Slaughter Farm - Bad for the livestock, good for the butcher
Vampyre - The quintessential broody gothic fragrance
Mansion - A dusty plantation, cobwebs and all
Rotting Coffin - Unearthed and moldy tomb
Witch's Brew - A spicy harvest fragrance
Toilet - PU this one smells just bad
Candy Corn - True candy corn in liquid form
Full Moon - Crisp, cool night under a full moon
Sea - the algae infested briny ocean.

I NEED to sample them all but I'm most excited about the Zombie Breath scent! I have a zombie ground-breaker prop who's just itching to spew some rank, zombie breath fog from his gaping maw!

Pumpkin Spice Liqueur - Round 2

I'm in the process of perfecting my Pumpkin Spice liqueur recipe (originally obtained from HalloweenDrinks.net). This time, a little less sweet and with a slightly higher alcohol content.


The Ingredients


The spices in the bottom of the jar before adding the pumpkin and the 100 proof vodka. Looks delicious doesn't it?


This murky swill will soon become delicious pumpkin spice liqueur! Really!

Pumpkin Spice Liqueur

The finished product. It came out DELICIOUS!
Must make more!



Sweet, spicy, pumpkin-y and about 50 proof!
CHEERS!

My Own Pumpkin Spice Liquor!

I'm beginning the 5 week process of making my own Pumpkin Spice Liquor. I want to have made a few batches and worked out all the bugs by next Halloween. Wish me luck!!

Step 1: Add all of the above together, stir and let steep for 2 weeks.

Incidentally...I got the recipe from HalloweenDrinks.net.
