I'm going to attempt a 5 gallon batch of an All Grain Pumpkin Ale (Pumking Clone) this weekend and the recipe I found calls for 5 lbs of cooked pumpkin, however I'm going to mash with canned puree instead. So my question is does 5 lbs of cooked pumpkin equal to using 5 lbs of canned puree? I assume the canned stuff is more condensed so I didn't know if I should dump all 5 cans in my mash or cut it back some. I was planning to add rice hauls to my mash to prevent sticking...any other tips for mashing with puree?
My grain bill also includes:
17.5 lbs of 2 US 2 Row
1 lb of Car/Cry Malt 60L
1/2 oz Magnum Hops
3/4 oz Saaz (Sterling Alternate)
Various spices added to the boil and vanilla extract.
2 Packs British Ale 1098
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Jason
