Brewing a Brewcraft Kit of Rocky Mountain Amber Ale.

Brewing tonight a pumpkin ale for thanksgiving. Looking forward to a nice session of home brewing with the boys.. Question for anyone who has brewed Pumpkin beer before, do you recommend a bed of rice hulls or mixed in with the entire mash.. I have talked to some folks who said the mash gets pretty sticky with the pumpkin. Any recommendations?

You'll definitely want rice hulls. I'd start with 1/2 lb, but have more on hand just in case. My pumpkin mash that used 2x29 oz cans of pumpkin still took almost 1hr to batch sparge, even though I used over 1lb of rice hulls. I even tried the protein rest trick and had a hot mashout infusion. The common way to use rice hulls is to mix them in.
