Brewing your Evil Jack Pumpkin Spiced Ale follows a typical all-grain brewing process:

Mash: Convert grain starches into fermentable sugars for a clean, light malt base.
Sparge: Rinse the grains to collect sweet wort.
Boil: Add Cluster hops for bittering. Add the pumpkin spice blend at the end of the boil for subtle spice character, or reserve it for a spice tincture during fermentation for more intense flavor.
Ferment: Ferment with American ale yeast until clean and fully attenuated.
Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks from brew day to glass.

This all-grain Evil Jack Pumpkin Ale delivers a bold, seasonal brew with warm spice character, smooth malt sweetness, and the unmistakable flavors of autumn in every sip."

Liquid yeast can deliver excellent fermentation performance and a wider range of strain options, but it’s a living, perishable product that requires a little extra care.

Liquid yeast may arrive warm. Ice packs help reduce heat exposure but do not guarantee cold arrival.
Refrigerate it when received and plan to brew as soon as possible.
We recommend adding an insulated mailer + ice pack to liquid yeast orders.
During May–September, dry yeast is strongly recommended due to higher shipping temperatures.
Liquid yeast is final sale and cannot be replaced due to heat exposure during transit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to brew this kit?

This is an ingredients-only kit for homebrewers with an existing 5 gallon all-grain brewing setup — mash tun, kettle, fermenter, and the usual all-grain gear. No equipment included.

What style of beer is Evil Jack?

Evil Jack is a spiced pumpkin amber ale — not a stout, not a porter. Despite the seasonal spiced character, it pours a warm amber with a smooth, malt-forward backbone.

What are the main flavor notes in Evil Jack?

Ceylon cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger lead the way, backed by a smooth biscuity malt base with real pumpkin powder adding earthy autumn depth. Balanced and festive without being cloying.

How long is Evil Jack available each year?

Evil Jack is a limited fall seasonal. We produce a set quantity each year, and once it sells out it's done until the following season. A 5 gallon all-grain batch gives you full control over your fall supply.

Is there a way to get stronger pumpkin spice in a 5 gallon batch?

Yes — the tincture method works especially well at 5 gallons. Reserve the pumpkin spice blend and on day 10 of fermentation soak it in 1 oz of vodka in a sealed container. At bottling, stir that mixture into your cooled priming sugar before you fill. The spice comes through clean and pronounced.

How long does a 5 gallon all-grain Evil Jack batch take?

The all-grain process adds a mash and sparge step, but the overall timeline is similar: brew day (longer than extract), roughly 2 weeks of fermentation, and 1–2 weeks of bottle conditioning — about 4–5 weeks total.
