The apfelwein I'd been saving for Easter was pretty dry for my wife's tastes. I added 2 cans of frozen cranberry concentrate to the 3gallon corny. WOOHOO! It was a hit. Everyone loved it. BUT.... I guess its not Apfelwein anymore?

the problem is once it's all fermented out, most of the apple and cranberry will be gone. I dont mind it dry, but swmbo wanted it sweeter, so I added 2 cans of frozen cranberry to 3 gallons of finished apfelwein. I guess if I keep it cold and drink it fast it shouldnt ferment anymore, i hope.

Sorry, I tried searching but trying key words searching of "Prime with apple juice" basically brings back every comment.
If you were to prime with apple juice (5.5G), how much juice would you use?

Anyone ever cold crash apfelwein? Kind of pointless right now at 7 weeks since it is totally clear...but I had some kolsch in my fermentation chamber with it so decided to just cold crash everything. I put the temp down to 40 a couple days ago, and will be going down to 35 for another few days. Any idea what effect, if any, this will have on the AW?
