So I have a couple huge pumpkins left over that I didn't carve. I found this recipe for pumpkin wine
http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/reques53.asp
and plan to make that. The only wine yeast I have is Montrachet and I don't really want to make a special trip to the brewstore if I don't have to. So will this yeast be able to ferment a whole 5 gallon batch? The recipe says the wine will end up at 18% with a yeast that can handle that much, or you can use a less attenutive yeast to get a sweeter wine (of course) It says cote des Blancs is a good yeast for a sweeter wine, wouldn't Montrachet be similar since it's supposed alcohol tolerance is 15%?
