I've been playing around with the idea of using sweet potatoes in my "pumpkin" beer this year but I'm not convinced it's the right way to go. My thinking is that because pumpkin is such a mild flavor I wanted something more pronounced. I could increase the amount of pumpkin but that will also increase the vegetale flavors, which I would like to avoid. Although I've never had a sweet potato beer I know I like the flavor in my food. However, I also like the mouth-feel of pumpkin in my beers.
Some things to note...
-I will be using canned fruit
-It will be used in the mash (yes, it's a sticky mess)
-It will be a light beer (as opposed to an amber, porter or stout)
-There's a good chance I'll be sharing it with friends/family
Obviously I can't ask the community to decide for me but I would appreciate if you share any experience on the subject. Thanks in advance.
