Yeah, my thought was to cut it down to a 5 gallon batch but keep the grain bill the same, but then my question would be if the pumpkin and the hops should be cut down but I don't think its drastic enough of a change for it to matter much, esp using magnum hops.
*EDIT* Does the pumpkin count as a part of my grain bill was my other question. In other words with BIAB do I need to account for the pumpkin when figuring out my strike water?
I've said it a few times in the thread now so I should probably just put it on the first post if it will still let me edit it. Since the pumpkin has a solid/liquid ratio similar to a mash don't worry about it volume-wise. As for temp, since you are baking the pumpkin before mashing, just let it cool to somewhere around mash temp then mash in. Basically, just make it easy on yourself.
