I pitched into a 1.060 because I didn't realize I was out of DME when I went to make a starter. It took a day and a half before there were any visual signs of fermentation.

I mashed 48oz of pumpkin then added an additional 12 oz at 10 minutes then the spice that came with the kit at flame out. Its still in primary, so i'm not sure how it turned out but the wort tasted like liquid pumpkin pie.
