Pumpkin Ale

I would not add any pumpkin to the boil as you will end up with a starchy beer. Without mashing you might be better off with no pumpkin at all and just spices...

This past weekend I made a pumpkin porter, all grain. I gelatinized and mashed about 14 pounds of pumpkin for a 5 gallon batch - tastes very pumpkiny even before the spices.
