I've read two thirds of the posts and haven't seen an answer to this and I wonder if I have a problem on my hands. Mine is being made for family. She's looking for a strong pumpkin pie taste. We made a spice tea (1 teas pumpkin pie mix in 1 cup) and she liked 6 teas per 4 oz of a sample...

Read this to my SWMBO :p she said the glass rim idea sounds really tasty, she likes it. She said she's really glad the beer didn't come out tasting like a fart. She asked me what a fart tastes like .... I didn't know so I thought I'd ask... :ban:
