With the low price of yeast I usually use the whole pack but you can use half if you like. No difference really. There is plenty of yeast in that packet for 10+ gallons which I've proved more than once.

Perfect. I'm still a noob and wad unsure thanks. Now one last question...I've been reading threads and people say not to use wine bottles to bottle apfelwein because that co2 will pop the cork out. What should I use to bottle?

If you plan on carbing, beer bottles of any size work fine.

Hi all,


I am kegging my Apfelwein at room temperature @ 26psi. I planned on drinking most of it at room temperature. I was wondering if it's possible to bottle a few bottles later on at room temperature. I've read its messy with beer. Wondering if it would cause the same problem here.

Also, I tasted it and it has a very subtle flavor. Seems sort of weak. The apple flavor isn't very pronounced. I started it in the beginning of February and let it sit in the primary until now. Just wanted to know if that's a normal taste for this time-frame?

I am new to brewing, im thinking of making this. Looks pretty awesome! I saw someone use cinnamon sticks, how was the success with that? How much should you add to the carboy?

Also, has anyone tried using fresh apple juice to make this? How did it turn out?

Also, thoughts on carbonation vs not?

Strange weather continues here in Michigan and I normally do not keep changing from heat to air conditioning. How important is a constant temp while fermenting this? Looking at the 10 day we are supposed to finally warm up so temp changes shouldn't be as bad as they have been but even with the AC on a 4-5 degree change throughout the day is fairly normal in my house.
