Mine is 5 weeks old and I have been drawing off 'samples' for about 1.5 weeks. It's really great stuff. I have about 4.5 gallons left and plan on bottling all of it next weekend (6 weeks old). I also plan of starting another batch as soon as the carboy is clean.

my best guess would be that it will get rid of some of the rhino farts that is associated with apfelwein, might even speed up fermentation but not sure about that, the important thing is to bottle it when its clear, give it time, that's what i learned the hard way. i bottled mine too soon, its great after a few weeks in bottle but there is a bit too much sediment in the bottles. next time i'll give mine more time.

Is it ok if one uses normal sugar mixed with dark brown sugar instead of corn sugar? The yeast came in a small little bottle, I'd say like a shot glass, is that enough for 10 liters of Apple Juice? Did the liquid yeast survive the journey across the desert?

I made a batch of EdWort's apfelwein thinking that I would never get to taste the real deal. 6 months and a corny keg later I am in Frankfurt drinking their "most famous" apfelwein, and... I gotta say that my(EdWort's recipe) apfelwein came out better than the stuff I have ordered at restaurants (but the stuff in restaurants is way cheap compared to beer).

Last batch I racked after a month and added finings (Bentonite, Gelatin works too) to a secondary, cleared it right up really clear. If I was gonna drink it in two months I would definitely do that... 4 weeks pri, 1-2 weeks sec with finings, 2-3 weeks in bottles.

I went to the home brew store and they were out of the pound bags of dextrose so he went in back got "two" pounds worth of smaller bags. so fast forward i put all the bags in the carboy and then i realize he gave 3 pounds instead of 2.
Will this have an adverse effect on the wine? should i worry about it? will it effect the taste? alcohol content? the batch size is 5.5 gallons i have a 6 gallon glass carboy didnt want to waste the space. |
