Not the appropriate thread but since we're on the subject, how do you make a high ABV beer without "drying it out"?
Yep, higher mash temp and a 90 minute boil.

I look forward to tasting this! Tried steeping a bit less special roast and added some victory to compensate. Hopefully I didnt mess it up. Briess state it can be steeped but I assume I won't get as strong of a biscuit taste as if it was mashed! Thanks for the recipe! Hit 1.070!

Would rice hulls be necessary for extract recipe? Not having to separate spent mash, should I just be careful not to get huge amounts of pumpkin in the fermentor? Just not sure what to do with the pumpkin during the boil.
I don't think rice hulls are necessary for extract, but I'm not sure about what to do with the pumpkin. Maybe steep it?
You need a mini-mash/partial mash if you want to put some pumpkin in there!

Correct, rice hulls are not necessary for extract. Steep the pumpkin for about 30 minutes before you add everything else. I edited the OP to add more information.I don't think rice hulls are necessary for extract, but I'm not sure about what to do with the pumpkin. Maybe steep it?
Not so. See above.You need a mini-mash/partial mash if you want to put some pumpkin in there!

Yeah that's completely retarded clear if it's coming straight from the fermenter!
Im a ninja! All I do is vorlauf forever, pitch yeast and watch it go! I used 2 lbs of rice hulls for the batch, not sure if that helps with clearing it. Made a huge healthy starter of wlp099 sd super yeast.
Reno,
I use mash out; so right now Beersmith has me at 16.25 qts. of water for mash in and 9.10 qts. of water for mash out. Then 2 gallons of sparge. Would you suggest 24 qts of water at mash in and then keep the rest of the schedule? It seems like 2 extra gallons of water would be way too much for just the pumpkin absorption, but please let me know your thoughts! Thanks! Brew day will be Sunday for this wonderful brew!!
