I have some questions on this:
I was going to make some for Mom for Christmas. I was going to give her three gallons and keep two (you don't think I am that giving do you?). I have some questions.
Is this best served cold or room temperature or what?
Should this style of drink be carbonated or not? Mom's a wine drinker and I am thinking she might like it better uncarbed. What do you think?
When it comes to bottling this, if it is to be non-carbonated should it still be bottled in something that would be finished in one sitting, like a 12 or 22 oz. beer bottle? Is there some way I can put it in used water jugs? I know wine bottles would be the most visually appealing option, but I don't want the added expense of buying the bottles, corker, etc..
Ed says this is very dry and not very sweet and you could use a different yeast for a sweeter EdWort's Apfelwein. Any ideas on what to use for a sweeter taste? With what you suggest will I need a bigger carboy than 5 gallons for the five gallons of juice? In other words, will it foam?
