Hey guys, bottled my first batch of apfelwein last week. I decided to pop one open and give it a taste test. Interestingly, there is almost zero carbonation in it. I know I added priming sugar, so that is not the problem.



Does it take longer than beer? :confused:


Thanks for any info!!!

Do you use corn sugar, carb drops or something else and how much per gallon?
Thanks,
Sue
 
I used what's probably a bit too much concentrate, and at 2 weeks I was definitely over-carbed. It was on the warm side though.

Corn sugar, and I use 3/4th a cup for a 5 gallon batch, as per EdWort's original recipe.

If you want to bottle and carbonate, ¾ cup of corn sugar will work fine. Use as you would carbonate a batch of beer.
