Default Not yeast bubbles.

Can't take a picture because the camera got beat up by the cat, but it is definitely mold. Big green patches of it, getting bigger everyday. Well, back to the drawing board. I'll try again next week after I get this mess cleaned up.

Ok the wifa and I made a 5 gal batch last Wednesday. We would like to serve this at our 4th of July party. My thought is to leave it in the primary for two months then bottle to give it around 3 months to condition in the bottle. Does this sound like the best schedule based on the amount of time we have or should I leave it in the primary for only 1 month (as long as fermintation is complete)? Just want to ensure I get the most Liquid Panty Removalness out of it!?!

WOW!it has been 36 hours since inoculation and my closet reeks of sulfur. My Apfelwein is steadily bubbling away I can't wait to try it in a few months.

Sounds good. 3 + 2 would also be good. It's pretty forgiving.

Does Apfelwein count for the 'how many gallons of homebrew in 20XX' thread?

I've been waiting for one month and I'm at my wit's end! I'm not expecting mine to clear up anyways because I used unfiltered apple juice, so my buddy and I are planning to bottle this thursday night (which will make it exactly 40 days in the primary. Then the real waiting game begins.

Technically, no. You'll want to go here: How many gallons of EdWort's Apfelwein have been made?

I tried to search for this answer and nothing seemed to pop up. I apoligize if it has been asked already.

I made Apfelwein and must of been a little buzzed at the time. I used 2 pounds of DME instead of corn sugar. I just poured it in each gallon and shook the crap out of it till it dissolved. It really took off in the fermentor.

It has been about a month. I am just curious how it will turn out. Any guesses?
