Northern Brewer Smashing Pumpkin Ale recipe

So, I made two different batches this year.  I will follow with an update as to the difference in the two recipes in the future.

SPECIALTY GRAIN  0.5 lb Briess Caramel 40  FERMENTABLES  3.15 lbs Amber malt syrup (60 min)  1.0 lb Pilsen dried malt extract (60 min)  3.15 lbs Amber malt syrup late addition (15 min)  1 oz Cluster (60 min)  1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice (0 min)  Safale US-05 Ale Yeast.

The FG was expected to be 1.012

SPECIALTY GRAIN Mash (60 min) 0.5 lb Briess Caramel 40 25 oz  Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin 2.5 lb Butternut squash - sliced and baked for 40 minutes FERMENTABLES  3.15 lbs Amber malt syrup (60 min)  1.0 lb Pilsen dried malt extract (60 min)  3.15 lbs Amber malt syrup late addition (15 min)  1 oz Cluster (60 min)  1 tsp McCormicks Pumpkin Pie Spice (2 min) 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice (0 min)  Safale US-05 Ale Yeast

I changed how I prepared the butternut squash.  This time I created slices and then stacked them with space similar to a Lincoln log house.  During the previous effort the pumpkin stuck to the pan.
