Hey folks,
I know the bottling of apfelwein has been a popular topic around here, and I've found a few answers about bottling of apfelwein. I still have a couple questions. I bought my juice in these one gallon glass bottles (they appear similar to a 1 gallon glass carboy).
So my questions are, if I was bottling this apfelwein still, would I be able to just screw the cap back on, or would this allow to much air into the apfelwein? Also, I assume that it would not work very well, but would it be at all possible to carb some of the apfelwein with these screw top lids? I have been unable to find any corks, or caps that would it over these. Not to mention it takes a large screw top lid which does not make it very easy to cap anything to begin with.
Any advice? Thanks!
Pat
