Hey folks,
I saw this fantastic recipe, and decided I had to give it a try. I do have a few questions though.
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f25/man-i-love-apfelwein-14860/
1. Regarding the "dextrose/corn sugar", is this a requirement? I was unable to find it anywhere, (grocery stores, whole food store, etc). I grabbed a 2 lbs bag of "pure cane sugar".
2. I decided to make a 1/2 batch first before committing to the 5 gallon batch (due to the cost of 100% pure apple juice is $7 per gallon here!) would it be fine to ferment 2.5 gallons in a 5.5 gallon carboy?
3. Whats the best way to store this after fermentation is complete? What do you folks think turns out the best. I kind of like the idea of carbing it into bottles, but since I have never tried this, I wanted to get a little insight.
Please forgive me if these questions have been asked/answered a thousand times. I'm not very technologically gifted. Cheers!
