Notes

Other Ingredients: One medium sized pumpkin, one yam, 1 tsp ground nutmeg, 1 tsp ground cinnamon.

Cut top off pumpkin and quarter it. Clean out seeds and surrounding stringy strands. Dice into about a dozen pieces. Roast the pumpkin chunks and yam at 325F for about 40-60 minutes. While warm scrape the roasted pumpkin off the skin and peel the skin off the roasted yam. Smash the roasted pumpkin and yam with a potato masher. Add cinnamon and nutmeg to the smashed pumpkin and yam mixture.

Mash all grains with the smashed pumpkin/yam for 60 minutes at 154 degrees. (I like to stir the smashed pumpkin/yam mixture right into the strike water – then a mix the pumpkin water with the crushed grains for the mash. This ensures a nice even mix for maximum pumpkin flavor)
