Looking good!
I JUST finished tasting my first apfelwein. I was surprised how much it had in common with white wine, especially in aroma. Of course mine wasn't cold and only had very light carbonation, but I liked it.

I think my Diet Coke just killed itself in shame, lol. That does look mighty fine. I know whats on my list for the weekend. You think I can pass off brewing supplies as "weekly groceries" without the husband getting suspicious?

That depends...do you normally drink apple juice by the gallon? 
I've made seven batches now, and I'll confess to feeling a little silly putting 5-10 gallons of apple juice in my cart. I buy it a local restaurant supply type place, that has great bulk meat cuts, so my cart is always filled with apple juice and giant slabs of meat! |

Good job. I just opened my first bottle of my first batch and am impressed with the results. Given the overwhelming popularity of Apfelwein, I am sure there are product people at the apple juice companies/Walmart perplexed as to why people are buying 5 - 1 gallon bottles at a time.
