I'm probably about half-way through my keg o'Thunderstruck... Awesome stuff!
I did take my recipe down from right before Yuri updated it, so my spices were slightly different and added at the end of the boil. That said, this beer is still quite awesome.
I did have one odd thing I noted: I primaried for about 3.5 weeks and secondaried for another week (trying to give any remaining pumpkin solids a fair chance to drop out). Once carbed, for about the first 5 or 6 days I was pouring, I would get this funky vegetal finish - not sure if there was still some solids left behind that took several pints to pour off or what... But when I brought some to a brew club meeting to ask what I had done wrong, the vegetal nastiness was gone, and the beer's been great ever since!
