I have bought a pumpkin for Halloween.
Instead of throwing away the flesh I plan on using it in a beer.
Has any body made a great pumpkin beer and care to share a recipe?
It would be nice to here a few opinions from our American cousins.

Re: Pumpkin Ale
I've never made one but I did sample a few pints of this year's brew at The Foundry Brew Pub in Canterbury on Thursday. Very subtle and rather gorgeous.

Re: Pumpkin Ale
Do you add the pumpkin to the mash,boil,fermenter, HLT all of these?
Also have read that roasting the pumpkin with sugar adds another dimension.

Re: Pumpkin Ale
I, brewed one I wouldn't recommend a jack lantern pumpkin they aren't sweet enough, use a butter nut squash and roast it first with sugar.
