Need an Extract PUMPKIN ALE Recipe

I'm planning to modify this recipe a bit and brew it in early August. As of now I'm undecided on the canned vs. roasted pumpkin debate.

Thanks you all for your inputs. Really appreciate your insight.

Is the canned puree not roasted a bit during the processing? Sure it could be done at home a bit better to your preference. And I like that NB pointed out to use canned pumpkin with no added ingredients.

 

When I do partial mash brewing I do the mash BIAB in my brew pot. I calculate my strike water temperature to hit about 153 when I add the grain. I shut off the burner and put the grain bag into the pot. After I verify the temperature I wrap the pot with old thick towels and monitor the temp. If I have to add heat I pull the grain bag off the bottom of the pot and tie it off on a handle. I of course remove the towels prior to firing up the burner. No mash tun required.
