I've been having a discussion on another site about pumpkin beers and a debate has started over mashing verses boiling the pumpkin.
This BYO article was brought up and 3 professional brewers say that although it is a pain in the arse, the pumpkin should be mashed.

This one, which has been referenced here a lot, says to put the pumpkin into the boil.

Now I can honestly say: I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!
Are there any folks out there that have made good pumpkin beers who can chime in?
