is the pumpkin in the primary with it or not?

I like to think of pumpkin ale as being light in flavor, to let the pumpkin shine through a little, so i vote no dry hop.

Search for yuri's thunderstruck pumpkin ale.
He recommends boiling and primarying with the pumpkin, then racking to a secondary to help clear the beer. I have a batch in primary now, and there is a ton of sediment from all the pumpkin.

I did the same with revvy's pumpkin porter 2 weeks ago.

My 7 gallon primary appeared to have 2 gallons of sediment in the bottom when i moved it from my ersatz fermentation chamber to the basement closet for further conditioning. I may or may not rack to secondary this weekend. Might want to leave it on the sediment for another week or two.

Basically I'm hoping that the sediment compacts and i get a little more beer out of there.

I usually leave in primary for a month, then bottle/keg. The beer usually clears fine, and the sediment becomes fairly compact. Brewing my pumpkin tomorrow
