Alright I made an Apfelwein mod on 9-2-2007 which you can read about here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=37751
Basically the only difference was using ultra fine cane sugar vs. dextrose corn sugar. I tried it around 10-2-2007 and it was GREAT. It wasn't dry and was semi-sweet with a good taste... I actually thought it was the best thing I've ever fermented!!! So I tried it again this weekend and it now has a nasty taste to it... It's pretty much a tart dry taste and has a smell of musty water.
I really wish I knew what happened to this cider. Does anyone have some insight or recommendations? I'm willing to ship a few bottles of it to any willing tasters who could be willing to help me figure out my mistakes.
