I have left over pumpkins and left over grain from my porter last night. Yet another "What was I thinking?" thread.
I'm posting this in this category because I'm pretty sure it doesn't if anywhere else.
I'm baking about 10 lbs of jack-o-lantern right now. I have a big heap of mostly spent grain that's been sitting for about 8 hours. I plan on crushing the pumpkin to a pulp and sparging it over the top of the mostly spent grain bed.
I think I'll have to boil longer before addition of hops to increase original gravity and let it set in the ferment longer - Also I read that tannins will aid in the breakdown of pectin and should get more fermentables from that. I may place a couple bags of green tea into the tun. The spent grain will probably have some extra tannins in it too.

The original grain bill is the second list in this thread, the actual porter:
