This is sort of a two parter...

One... I don't know where to start making beer at home. Can someone point me to some good tutorials and/or threads to learn?

Two... there use to be this restaurant in Los Angeles (call the "Country Club" ) that did it's own brewing on site. Every Fall they would produce this beer they called Pumpkin Beer and they'd top it with a swirl of whip cream. It was SO yummy!!! SO... how does one make Pumpkin Beer???

1. I've heard some decent things about the following tutorial. http://www.soyouwanna.com/SITE/syws/.../makebeer.html

2. It would be pretty easy to make a basic pumpkin beer. You would basically make a basic beer, and add a pumpkin puree. Then you can get a little fancier by adding some pumpkin pie spices, nutmeg or cinnamon. I'll have to see if I can find some basic recipes for you.
