Notes

Note the following other ingredients:

3 lbs pie pumpkin (boil)
4 oz molasses (preferably blackstrap)
4 oz maple syrup (preferably grade B)
1-3 tsp spice mix (Editor: see below for recipe)
2.5 lbs pie pumpkin (secondary)

Mash at 156° F for one hour, sparge per your setup to collect ~6.5 gallons wort. During your mash your pumpkin should be in the oven roasting (375 1 hr, toss with brown sugar and some spices, back in oven for 10 min)

(optional) Toss your cubed pumpkin in brown sugar and spices.

Toss your hops, boil for an hour, and kill it. I toss my spices in at flameout (1 Tbs)

(Editor: Recipe for Spice Blend):
My spice blend is a mix of one tablespoon of cinnamon, one teaspoon of ginger, one teaspoon of nutmeg, and a quarter teaspoon of cloves.
