Saw this vintage apfelwein sign and thought other Edwort recipe fans might be interested...

I'm in.

Following up, this recipe makes some really good beer. Thanks again!

It's my first ever starter, so I can't really speak from experience. I've read/heard that it makes for a healthier, more consistent fermentation, and lessens the chances of off-flavors from stressed yeast. It's in the keg now. Still had some krausen when I racked it. I added a little too much...

I think it's 6.5 gallon. I did make a starter...

That wheat beer yeast blew the top off my fermenter!

Glad to hear it! I'll be giving your recipe a try. Thanks! -j

Tasted this carbed yet? I'm interested in how close you got. I'd like to brew a clone myself. The video on their website also mentions the use of lemon peel and lime peel. -j

Thanks; that info's good to know. I'm ok either way; SWMBO's pretty lax because she knows how much I love this hobby. And, as long as it makes apfelwein, I'm a happy camper!

Looks like a TBSP of Super Ferment is not sufficient to totally remove the sulfur off gasses. Haven't done a batch with none, so I can't really tell whether it helped at all, but it does smell a tad "rhino-farty" in then manroom right now.

mixed up my first batch of this stuff yesterday. followed directions with the exception of the addition of about a tablespoon of Super Ferment. hoping to cut down on sulfur smells and maybe hangover-causing byproducts. it was fermenting away nicely this morning. gonna try and wait 5+ months...

Thanks! No PC fan installed yet. I will check the compressor area. I thought it sounded like the coolant was having trouble getting through the pipes or something. Fan noise sounds more fixable. -j

I just walked in on it making the noise (just caught the tail end of it.) I was able to record a very faint sound recording with my iPhone. I have published it at http://greerranch.com/jeff/Memo.m4a Thanks! -j

I'll have to record it and post it. It's kind of whiny and high pitched, with some almost fax machine or analog modem sounding patterns to it. Remember the 300 baud days? Sounds not unlike those old things connecting/talking.

I built a keezer (still need to get pics and post 'em to the "show us your" thread), and it's working, and I love it. :mug: However, I've noticed that, when the temp controller kicks the chest freezer on, the chest freezer sounds like a sea lion making sweet love to a fax machine. It...

Happy to report that the keezer is finally plugged in and the $16 eBay single stage, 110V, display-in-F temp controller appears to be working. Temp controller said 71 when I plugged it in at midnight, and was down to 56 this morning when I left for work. (old craigslist 14.8 cu ft freezer, 1x6...

Yes, please!

Ditto on watching craigslist. A few weeks ago, I scored 5 ball locks for $100 that were still pressurized with Pepsi syrup in them. They have stickers on them, but are otherwise in excellent condition. -j
