I made a batch of Apfelwein with my wife during the last week of April. We planned on bottling it after letting it ferment for two months. However, I ended up getting a 2nd job around that time so it had to go on the back-burner for a little while. Long story short, it's still not bottled.
That's partially due to the fact that we didn't have enough bottles. There simply hasn't been enough time during the day to sit back and enjoy a brew. I've finally been able to get my schedule set between the two jobs and I'm ready to test this stuff out.
I went on Midwest's website tonight to order a recipe kit and found an awesome deal on bottles (case of 24 for $7); so I bought two. I'm expecting them to be here sometime next week, hopefully. Can Apfelwein ferment for too long? I'm not sure if that's possible, but I'm hoping it's not and that this is just one of those things that gets better with age.
The BB with the Apfelwein has been sitting in the spare bedroom in our house this whole time, temps never getting above 75, and it still looks the same as it did around the time we originally planned to bottle it. I just want to make sure it's not wasted. Thanks for the help.
