Brewing my pumpkin ale as we speak, used 3 cans (90oz) Libby's Pumpkin Pie Filling, and 2 bags crushed up graham crackers, mixed them in, baked at 350 for 30 min, stirred, baked another 20. Looking and smelling amazing. About to add them with the LME once the initial boil starts...

Correct on the 60 min. I also wonder how it would be adding it at the end. I'm about to brew the pumpkin ale today, but I'm going to bake the pumpkin with crushed graham crackers on it this time.
