OK So I finally Bottled and tested this horrible recipe and product! This has been sitting in the pirmary for 5 months now, its sept 14th 2010. and It turned out to be a watered down franzia box wine type thing. it's almost all gone, only after being out of the fermenter 5 hours HA HA HA But...

A nice way I sweeten up my batches that ended up very very VERY DRY is to take a tube of apple juice concentrate and keep it frozen and when you pour your drink into a glass throw a nice chunk of the concentrate into the glas before you pour your cider over it, helps cool it and sweeten it...

I just talked to my neighbor who had been brewing this recipe of yours for a good min (he's not a member but he is into home-brewing) and I gave it a try, he showed me through all the steps and I must say Yooper, This Is a great Apple Wine!!!. KUDOS!!!

"I also like to live dangerousley" - Austin powers I personally LOVE a suprise, hence why I chose not to calc my alc % and find out what it is by trying it. I have had both good results and bad: However I've had GREAT times with both results. If someone hands you a "Great brew" Do you...

I can't Imagine not using an Airlock on my carboys! but then again I'm a Cider brewer, I don't rightly know how beer/wine works, but I would HATE to spend much time and energy and money and LOVE (lol) to end up with apple cider vinegar, thats truly the worst ever, and I've had it happen several...

Hey $bill, I love that Mr. Beer fermenter set up you got going! For only $10 you got a two gallon Fermenter tank that won't break, I think I'll use that for smaller exparamental batches. Can you fix the top with an air lock?

As far as I understand it's a matter of personal preference. I have done both with the simple Ed Worts Apfelweine racked and didn't rack. Turned out more or less the same, I think Racking does help with reducing the amount of lees left over that would eventually end up in your finished bottles tho.
