Mine pumpkin porter was a partial mash recipe. I baked the pumpkin on a cookie sheet for about 45 minutes I think before mashing. I mashed at 153 for an hour.
It turned out well. The pumpkin isn't as strong as I had hoped, being overshadowed by the spices. I think next time I'd use more pumpkin and less spices. I'm happy with it however, and even entered into a competition coming up. We'll see how it does I guess.
