Sorry I did try searching for this answer in particular, but didn't find anything.
When you use pumpkin in your mash.. two questions
1. I read that most people "mash" the pumpkin before putting into the mash. What if you left it in cubes as to not make the sparge more of a PITA? I would roast them enough to where they are soft, but not mash them so they don't make the mash too thick.
2. Where exactly do you put the pumpkin in your mash? Do you lay the malt/grains down first, and put the pumpkin on top? Assuming you pour the water in even more slowly than you typically would?
Thanks everyone!
