There isn't a problem with bulk aging between 6 months and one year right?

FWIW I like to add a few ounces of cranberry juice at serving time. Just seems to complement it so well. I wonder if replacing a quart or two with cran from the start would do the trick?

Just started a batch with 3lbs of dried amber malt instead of dextrose, 3 cloves, and one vanilla bean. I may steep some oats in it to add even more body. Then in 2 weeks, I'll add 2 sticks of cinnamon.

I'm going for an apple pie spin on apfelwein

Well I guess it would depend on you? First if you are going to carbonate it then I would imagine that you would need to use either beer bottles or Champagne bottles? If not then wine bottles or whatever you like?

Personally 16-22oz Grolsch bottles are perfect because you can bottle it up and drink some tomorrow easily or you can have a lot to pass around at a party!

Created in the past four hours, under the influence of one liter of Edwort's Amazing Elixir, second in a series of three interpretations of ancient cave paintings found in Southern France. Yea, a bit 'o' culture for this thread

It is more than just fermenting and drinking; it can be inspiration

I'm finally going to be able to use those clear and green bottles that I don't like using for beer!

It adds a bit of character to use odd bottles saved from other things; joe's ancient mead on the left, in a German Obstwasser bottle, apfelwein plus (used fruit coctail in primary) on the right in a bourbon bottle. These are of course for the non-carbonated versions; I am using 1-liter flip tops for the bubbly stuff.
