Im going to be making a batch of Sweet Potatoe Spiced Ale with thanksgiving, and will likely brew before this week is over, to give it maximum time to atone for my sins in the bottle, before I serve it. Im doing a PM kit, and need to add 3-4 lbs of potatoes to the mash. My thoughts after...

Well, Im joining this merry band of men (and ladies) who enjoy the challenge of making world class hooch in our basements (or bathrooms...kitchens..garages..sheds..back of our trucks etc :tank:). I was thinking about trying this for months..then cooking channel showed the good eats 'amber...
