Once upon a time, they had posted the pics to a blog with a write up of sorts. I can't seem to find it any more - apparently the interwebs aren't static and unchanging.

Nervermind - I just found the old blog: http://www.sloshspot.com/blog/02-25-200 ... -Steps-125" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It's easy! Just find a giant pumpkin or two and do it yourself. :cheers2:
I'm pretty sure these guys did it years ago as a one off.

I'm doing a dunkel with some roasted hubbard squash (because I got a 26 pound one from my mom's garden), but I'll be mashing and fermenting like normal.

My neighbor used a shopvac to clean out his pumpkins @ Halloween and did an excellent job!
