Well, the German Mother-in-Law arrives in a week, so I'm off on another project. This time it is Federweisser or Neuwein (New Wine).
Federweisser is a seasonal drink that is available about a week after the grape harvest in Germany. Folks start drinking the wine as soon as it has about 4% abv, but it's pretty sweet then and still full of yeast. SWMBO and her mom love it, so this year I'm adding a new twist. At 7 days, I'm going to keg it and dispense it from my kegerator with CO2. A little carbonation is great with this drink and SWMBO will be making some Zweibelkuchen (Onion Cake) to go along with it.
We'll see how long it lasts.
