Apfelwein is very very very simple to make. It would be a good batch to make to get your feet wet. There is no boiling involved... just get your ingredients, dump them in a bucket, and wait two months.

for those who are interested:

all dextrose is glucose but not all glucose is dextrose.

On the other hand pretty much all the glucose in corn syrup should be dextrose.

My thoughts are if you want to make Apfelwein use Ed's recipe & directions.

Its simple and makes good drink w/o much effort or cost.

The ingredients are not hard to come by if you have a homebrew shop within an hours drive. Its it more than that you might as well do online purchases since gas is $3 a gallon.

Just my 2 cents.

The local Bel Air here sells "granular corn sugar" in their bulk natural items. I just bought some at $1.something a pound. It might be worth looking into.

It is possible to use bread yeast to make beer and cider, the only problem is that it is not as flocculant and does not fall out of suspension the way other yeasts do. From what I have seen, the bread yeast does not contribute any off flavors, but I would still go with the proper yeast. The yeasts we get for brewing are specially designed to make a better product than any store bought yeast and the scientists who breed them have a good understanding of their characteristics and how they function best.

I have made JAO mead with bread yeast and the yeast kicks up clouds if you just look at it. Basically if you are going to bottle it you need to move the carboy into location one day ahead of time to let the yeast settle.
