So, I'm going to brew my first pumpkin ale recipe in the next couple weeks. I have read conflincting things about when to introduce the pumpkin. I'm going to use real pumpkin roasted in the oven. I've read that there are virtually no sugars worth converting in a pumpkin if you mash it, so you should add it in the boil. I've also read about people who do mash the pumpkin. Which do you guys prefer, and is there any benefit in doing some in the mash and boiling some?
Thanks for the help!
