I made this one because I kept seeing the pumpkin ales walking through the grocery store. It turned out great. I did cut down the pumpkin to 3 lbs, all in the boil. My wife doesn't like to drink beer at all but I caught her downing 3 of them one day when I came home from work. Will do this one again soon... i like the idea of my wife drinking more beer, she tends to be a red wine person.
