i'm planning on doing a pumpkin beer and adding the pumpkin in the mash. i'm just wondering how this effects my water/grain ratio. normally i mash in 1.25 per pound of grain - should i increase this ratio with the pumpkin, or just treat amount of pumpkin as if it were grain?
Also in calculation my strike temperature - how does this work with pumpkin in the grain. I'll be roasting the pumpkin the night before so it will be at room temperature....again do i tread the pumpkin as if it were grain?
those of you who have done this i'd appreciate any feedback.
thanks!
