Notes

https://beerandbrewing.com/perfect-pumpkin-ale-recipe/

Pumpkin weight is measured on a net basis, after roasting. See BrewingNotes spreadsheet, PumpkinAleCalculator tab.

Started with 18L water, added 0.6 or so extra to clean the sides and make sure all the grain got wet.

Started in kettle with 18L, plus added around 0.8L to take grains off the side of the brewpot. Then sparged with 9L. Had about 0.5L left in brewpot. Ended up probably with just shy of 18L of beer.

For details on pumpkin see PumpkinAleCalculator in BrewingNotes. Effectively what I used:
1.388 kg of butternut squash (gross weight prior to cooking or cutting); 855g after cooking and cutting
1.857 kobocha pumpking gross, 855 after cooking
