  Not to not answer your question but check out www.howtobrew.com and read chapter 14. It is
  pretty simple and well explained. In addition, if it is body and head retention that you are
  looking for a st...

• Posted in thread: Pumpkin Ale Question on 09-17-2007 at 03:28 PM
  My first pumpkin ale is just about ready for bottling. I mashed 3lb of the pure canned pumpkin.
  Made for a rather slow sparge, but never completely stuck. I then added the spices at flameout.

  I typically will add enough water to the tun after the mash so that I get the initial runoff

  I too got a Barley Crusher earlier this year and love it. I used the hand crank for the first
  couple of batches, then switched over to a drill...much easier and faster! My efficiency went
