Going to have to wait to bottle till tomorrow... I have some pop offs, a couple twist offs that MAY work and about 18 Coca Cola pop top bottles (the little 8 oz ones). I forgot i had the coca cola bottles and just stumbled onto them... they would essentially be the perfect serving size...
EDIT: damnit I took the first page 100 post... Yay it made 100 but i wanted ed wort himself to make the post... sorry ED, and Congrats...
I don't suppose anyone would be willing to do a little sampling for me would you? I'm going to start an Apfelwein and I'd like to get a taste of a good one...
I looked around for this using the search and wanted to double check .....anyways I want to bottle carb. my apfelwein, just use the standard 3/4 a cup of corn sugar??

Yes - 3/4 cup is correct. I contacted Lesaffre Yeast, maker of Red Star Montrachet. This was their recommendation. Be generous time-wise for letting it carb. A couple people have said the carb was poor at this rate but shortly later said it improved. It carbs slower than beer.

Well, I'm ready to jump on the apfelwien bandwagon. Today I bought 5 gallons of Wegman's brand apple juice - ingredients are apple juice, apple juice concentrate, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Thursday, on my day off, a trip to my LHBS will net me the dextrose and Montrachet yeast that I need, and we'll be off to the races!
I plan on bottle conditioning mine, so I'll let everyone know how it's going.

What do you all typically bottle the deliciousness in? I was thinking about picking up a few big growlers, I am going to try my throwing my first batch together this week (hopefully), I thought I might throw a couple sixers and make them fizzy, but other than that I figured I'd leave the rest dry.

I bottled mine last week and I just used a bunch of bottles I had lying around - Heineken, New Belgium, a couple microbrews, etc. I'm not really presenting to anyone though - if my friends want some, they get reused bottles.

Its funny you ask this. I was researching the same thing.
I'd like to mark this occasion by saying that I'm now making the 1,000th post on this thread! that's really awesome! :-)
Congrats EdWort for all the hard work and time put into this thread... I'd say there are other homebrew forums out there who wish they had this pmany posts total!
