I am about 2 weeks in the primary on my first ever Apfelwein. I took some out to check the SG... Well, ok so I took out more than enough to do the test as I couldn't wait to taste it. Wow I tell you, I could drink the stuff right now. This stuff is coming along nicely and it definately has some kick to it.

No one ever tells you how bad it smells when fermentation first starts. Made my apt. wreak for about a week...

Yeah I started it and a bit of mead at the same time in the pantry, wow, yeah it stays in my bathroom now. Mine has been fermenting about 3 weeks now, and it still bubbles every now and then but is starting to clear. I can not wait for it.

My wife walked in to where it was fermenting and asked "What died" ? She has also made comments about brewing P**s. Will she get any to drink ?? I think NOT.

I strayed ever so slightly from the recipe by adding one gallon of Blueberry/Pomegranite juice to it, and it never got the stinks.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but in three batches I haven't noticed any of the horrible smells that I was expecting. Even right by the carboy it smells, at most, a little apple-y. I follow EdWort's original recipe.

I made a 2 gallon batch about 7 weeks ago and it is still bubbling. This HAS to be the C02 degassing. I wanna let it sit a full 2 months before i bottle it.

Mine smelled very nice for the first 2 days of fermenting, see sig to find out what it smelled like after that.

Frets I tried mine at 2.5 weeks and I could guzzle the whole carboy already. You might want to start a new batch right away :P

I just made up a batch about a week ago, substituting Lalvin D-47 yeast for the champagne yeast. My closet used to smell like leather, now it smells like leather and apples. Yummy! I didn't get any sulfur smell with the D-47, but the proof will be in the pudding in a few weeks...
