So now that I've picked 100 lbs of strawberries I seem to be having some difficulty deciding which yeast to use. I was planning on two 5gl batches with different yeast and recipe for each. But, I need to save 40 lbs of berries for jam. This is my first fruit wine. I don't really want to cut back from 10 lbs /gal but I'm open for suggestions on what others would do with 60 lbs of fruit and yeast selection. Here's what yeasts I have on hand to pick from:
1. Lalvin ICV D-47 or EC-1118
2. Redstar Cotes des Blancs or Pasture Champagne (these two I use with my white wines)
3. Vinters Harvest CY17, MA33 or SN9
