Does anyone know the extract potential (points per pound per gallon) of pumpkin, either canned or fresh?
I'm wanting to add pumpkin to my mash, but I can't find any good info on how many points I can expect to get out of it which makes crafting the recipe to hit a target SG somewhat difficult. I read Jamil's recipe in BCS, but the only hints on what to expect is if using real pumpkin is he says to subtract 2 lbs of malt and add 5lbs of pumpkin. so am I to assume 2/5*36 = 14.4? Is that reasonable?
