Ok cool. I thought I could get canned pumpkin pie mix but only canned pumpkin is available right now. I'll just have to make up for it with the spice additions. Thanks.

I'm brewing a pumpkin ale this weekend and plan on using canned pumpkin pie mix. Would you all recommend baking the mix before hand or just putting it in straight from the can?
