Ok, I am on my second full batch of apfelwein and was wondering about carbing some.... I bottled my last batch about a month ago in normal 750 ml wine bottles. Pitched montrachet both times, love the stuff uncarbed, but was curious about what it would be like with some carbonation.

I was thinking about priming with apple juice concentrate or honey, not really sure if it is worth it though... Thoughts?
 
A lot of people prefer it highly carbed. I carbed half the batch and people preferred it, and called it apple champagne.

My last batch I carbed with corn sugar and it turned out great. One batch before that I used some champagne yeast and WOW it really got bubbly. That time I used just table sugar, which still turned out fantastic.

Thanks, I will probably do a split batch. Sorry, I somehow failed to see the other threads on the topic. Oh well.
