Yuri - I believe Ed's is sparkling. He's got it on tap.

Bird - did you take an OG on yours? I forgot and could take a thief at it now but if you measured I'd assume the same for mine.

Nah, I didn't bother. Didn't feel like digging out and sanitizing the turkey baster and hydrometer to pull a sample.

I gotta try that! Does it taste anything like Brentzens Apfel Korn?

Just that they're both apple flavored. They're pretty much two different animals though. Isn't Apfel Korn a liqueur or Schnapps type drink? I love getting shots of that at our local Oktoberfest.

Nope.
Apfelkorn is a sweet apple flavored liqueur made from 100% wheat spirit, and blended with apples. It was invented in Germany in the 1970s.

The Apfelwein recipe ferments out dry, tart, crisp and when carbonated and chilled is very refreshing.

Hi Ed,

Is Apfelwein the same as Apfelmost? My grandfather in Austria used to make Apfelmost and have been looking for a recipe since they don't have email yet in the hereafter. My father THINKS he just used apple juice and spontaneous fermentation, but he is not sure.

Cheers.

Apfelmost is basically fresh pressed Apple Juice or cider somestimes called Süßmost. If they let it just sit, the natural yeast sitting on the skins would begin the fermentation to make Hard Cider.

Apfelwein is simply fresh filtered juice and wine yeast. I add the sugar to boost the alcohol content.

Awesome, thanks for the clarification. I am going to make some of yours...spontaneous fermentation does not really appeal to a control freak like me.

Cheers
