Could cut up cooked pumpkin work instead of puree.

@ENOCK360 Yes. Just bake it in the oven for a bit to carmelize.

I was thinking of making this as my first all grain batch. I was wondering how much water did you use for the mash and at what temperature was it done at.

@mlmartin12480 I believe Steve used 1.5 quarts/pound at around 152F.

Thanks for the idea for using roasted pumpkin seeds with the mash. I wrestled with that theory until you blazed that trail. Now I'll do it...that is going to add a whole new dimension to the flavor!

Good stuff. Thanks for posting.
