What is the maximum amount of time that Apfelwein can sit in my primary? Its just hit the 4 week mark, but I dont have time or enough bottles to bottle it. Can it stay around 6 weeks with out it getting funky???

I've left mine over 12 weeks without any funkiness.

The first batch I did the exact recipe. It was good but not exactly what SWMBO would say is her fav. Second time out I dropped 1# of the dextrose and used a Wyeast Cider Smacker. I bottled it and after 2 weeks it carbed up pretty nice. She likes it now. I can taste the difference between the 2 batches. I like both though.
Maybe next time I might mix it up with another juice or back sweeten/keg.
Still killer thanks Edwort.
BTW, I read all of the pages.

Another use for all those Apple Juice Jugs
|
|
For those who have the Son of Fermentation Chiller, the Tree Top Apple Juice Jugs make ice blocks when filled with water and frozen. The heavy duty plastic jug can take the repeat freezing and thawing much better than milk cartons or plastic milk jugs. They work great in my Fermentation Chamber.

Ed - When should expect to see the Cliff Notes version of this thread? 
Its getting to be like Tolstoy's War & Peace.

In my first batch that I bottled ( and was consumed fast), I noticed that after I had to move my mr.beer keg and some trub got mixed up with the apfelwein, it was on the sour side.
The first few bottles were great, but the last few that mixed up with trub seemed to be sour. Has anyone else had any experiance with this?

I've never had this experience. There's no trub in Apfelwein, just a very compact lees and those stay settled throughout the racking procedure. I'm able to pick up a Better Bottle and transport it to the counter without disturbing the sediment.
Apfelwein should be moved off the the sediment before bottling or kegging. |

geez, I made it to about page 15 before I skipped to the end! I think I might need to try out this recipe and see how people like it.
It sounds tasty to me!
