    Man, I love Apfelwein

    So I just had the crazy idea of using Sake yeast for apple wine, do you think this would work? Cheers.

    Better Bottles and light exposure

    Do I need to cover up my better bottles so they don't get exposed to light or is that only with glass? Thanks for the help!

    First time lagering

    I've been making ales for a little over a year now and decided to take on my first lager (AHS Noble pils). I am done with the primary fermentation and almost done with my d-rest. My questions is can I just rack this into my corny keg for the lagering process? Secondly, could I put the keg on...

    Apfelwein contamination?

    That makes me feel a bit better, no it didn't get any extra oxygen (I don't think anyways). I have another batch that is 4 weeks old and it doesn't have this stuff at the bottom. I am going to rack it anyway today and hope for the best.

    Apfelwein contamination?

    I went to rack my apfelwein that has been sitting for 5 weeks and noticed this stuff in the bottom. Has anyone seen this before or know what it is? I am hoping the batch is not ruined.

    Hops Growing Problems

As far as the pests are concerned, try to identify the pest, if its a caterpillar or...

    C02 fitting stuck on keg

    Got it out without having to replace either, although the co2 connect looks like a dog chewed on it. Thanks for all the help and wisdom! Cheers.

    C02 fitting stuck on keg

    Well I guess this goes down as a learning experience, brute force has proved to be unsuccessful. I will try it a few more times before I decide to give up. At that point I need to remove and replace the post? Thanks for the help. This is only the second keg I have bought, I had no problem...

    C02 fitting stuck on keg

    I write this as I am trying my first apfelwein, all I can say is wow. Now to my problem, after racking the apfelwein I had the great idea of force carbing it a bit, that went just fine but when I went to switch the co2 fitting from the out to the in it wouldn't budge, even after many failed...
