I am not sure I would do that.

Unless you know your buying heirloom types, you may very well be buying hybrid fruits. If they are hybrd, you have no guarantee they will bear the same thing next year. Many hybrids tend to 'revert' to the parent unless harvested at just the right moment. Squash (pumpkin is a squash after all) is very susceptable to reverting.
Like you, I am planning on growing pumpkins for brewing next year. I will source heirloom seeds looking for high sugar contents, ie: more fermentables, but really looking for good pie varieties. Then I can save the seeds for next year. Not all pumpkins are the same eh?

I hope to catch the early pumpkins at the farm stands for something maybe ready for Thanksgiving. Then, a latter brew that will be the "Best of the Season" which will go into bottles & storage for 2010.

I would post my recipe but it is still in flux and probably will be until brew day.

To be continued...

Somebody posted on here once that they cut up the pumpkin, then grilled it on their grill and added it to the mash. Anyone have the link to that thread?
