I'm brewing a pumpkin ale (all grain) for the first time and have checked out about 100 recipes trying to get ideas.
It looks like most people add the pumpkin to the mash and many complain about slow or stuck sparges even when using rice hulls.
For those of you that have brewed a pumpkin ale before did you add the pumpkin to the mash, boil or both? I've had stuck sparges before and it really can screw up a great brew day.
Anyone have any recommendations or experiences with brewing pumpkin ales?
Thanks.
