Notes

The pumpkin needs to be specially prepared for the mash. Four pie pumpkins with a total of about 9 lbs (4.1 kg) were halved and cleaned of seeds (roast your seeds for a bonus brew day snack!).
The now exposed meat of the pumpkin was rubbed with brown sugar and placed meat-side down on a cookie sheet.
Bake at 300°F (148.9°C) for a little over an hour or until the pumpkins have visibly finished “falling.”
Scoop out the pulp and mash up if necessary, then add to the second step of the mash as noted below.
Mash in grains for a protein rest at 122°F (50°C).
After 30 minutes, raise temperature to 155°F did144 (68.3°C), add the prepared pumpkin and hold for 60 minutes.
Mash out at 165°F (73.9°C) for 10 minutes.
After completing the mash, proceed to boil following the schedule as noted under the ingredients.
Ferment at 68°F (20°C) and carbonate after approximately four weeks.
