This may have been asked already, but how much does the pumpkin contribute to fermentable sugars?
I did the math on my batch. I used 8 cans of 15oz pumpkins for a 10gal batch. There were 4 grams of sugar in each can, so 32grams of sugar total, or 1.1oz. At just over 1/16 of a pound, the contribution would be around 36points / 16 or (1.1/16)*(36) = 2.475 gravity points for one gallon. For my ten gallons, this would be 2.475 / 10, or .2 gravity points.
So, in short, almost nothing. Hope this helps
