I force carb my Apfelwein and like to mix it with orange juice. Like a Mimosa.

Cold and Carbed Makes me Happy! :ban:

I have tried to put away and not think about it but it calls too me from the closet "Drink Me, come on just one little taste." Then before I know it my batch is gone. :drunk: :drunk: :drunk:

I have been force carbing mine, tastes like champagne, and sometimes I mix with fresh OJ. It makes an awesome mimosa.

I have used dextose aka corn sugar and both light and dark brown sugar. I have been letting them age and see if the taste improves or not. The dark is very tart when I first bottled it, I just tried one now that it is 2 months old and found it to be much better. Over all I prefer the...

3704 + 5 = 3709 I Guess I shouldn't drink and do math.

You can't carb in them but you can store still once the fermentation is complete. Check the recycling number on the bottle, if it is a 1 then you can use them. What you do is fill them 1/2" from the top and before capping gently squeeze the bottle to push out as much air space without...

I have tried both light & Dark Brown Sugar. The light adds a slight hint of tartness that is not to bad. The Dark on the other hand is very tart :( , and needed a little back sweetening to make it more drinkable. I have some aging to see if it improves with time. Try mixing with a...

I Use the Mott's Brand 100% AJ and it works great. Has only Vit C. added. A good rule is to use a juice that tastes good, will produce a better end product.

3424 + 5 = 3429

Looks like liquid Gold. :mug:

I use Mott's 100% Apple Juice.

Samething happen to me. They learned the hard way not to swim drunk. :drunk:

I started making Apfelwein back in September and started my fourth 5 Gallon batch last Saturday. I love this stuff. :drunk: 3035+20=3055

Thanks everyone for the input. :mug: I guess I should pick up some swing top bottles and do it right. Maybe I will do 1 orginal Juice bottle and see what happens. :D

I have been making a 5 gal batch of Edwort's Apfelwein. I have notice that the Gallon bottles that the Mott's Apple Juice came in has the recycle Rating of 1 (PETE). So when it is finished I am planning to put back into the original bottles to store and age. Not planning to Carb. Has...

What would be the tell tale signs that a unpasteurized cider batch has been infected with nasties?

Just Be Sure the Cider is preservative free. Asorbic Acid (Vitiman C) is the only acceptable Perservative.
