im starting a 5 gal batch of edworts apfelwein this week an i have a couple of questions

how much sugar do i need for fermenting and then carbing in kg 's

also, is cloudy apple juice ok to make it with? will it make anything different?

couldy apple juice shouldnt matter, you'll just end up with a bit more sediment then you would with clear juice

as for how much sugar you'll find that over here https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=14860 post #5

it doesnt mention carbing with sugar does it?

and also am i right in thinkin 2 pounds = 0.9 kg?

Pog Mo Thoin lol :cross:

sorry I'm confused . . .
your going to keg it but not force carb it?
I guess about 4-5oz sounds right think that works out to be about 120grams for carbing

and yeah, 2lbs = .9 kilo
remind me to bookmark this page one day so I dont keep searching for it LOL

A regular wine yeast package has 5 grams, so 5 grams would be fine.

i dnt accually have scales good enuf to messsure in grams for the yeast, so how many tea spoons could anyone sugest?

also if i bottle the cider, could i do a bottling bucket? if so how much sugar needs to go in the bucket before bottling?

sorry for so many questions on a simple recipe, i am pretty stupid

i am making it now so i supose ill guess if i dnt get an answer

thanks

5 Grams would be about a teaspoon. (I googled it- it's easy to do)

You can use your bottling bucket and bottling wand to bottle with.

To know how much priming sugar, you'd have to make sure the ferment is done- what is the f.g.? If the f.g. is over 1.000, I wouldn't add priming sugar at all. If the cider is say, .994 or so, you could carbonate it like beer.
