Can't resist head splitting, Ed Wort you are a mother****er!

I think we all know why... But I feel I must tell you that your apfelwine almost ruined my holidays.

I think we've all been there before.

Heh. I hit my apfelwine with K-metabisulfate and K-sorbate and mixed it half and half with fresh cider for my holiday guests. Simmered with a cinnamon stick, some nutmeg and a teaspoon of turbinado sugar per cup (8 tablespoons for a gallon and a half), it's just about the perfect holiday warmer . . . AND you don't have to worry about whether anybody will like it or not. It's hot cider. It tastes great. The fresh cider restores the apple body and tartness and a little of the sweetness. The spices and sugar take care of the rest. Yes, it drops from 8-9%ABV to about 4% but so what? I'm not out to get anybody looped before Christmas dinner -- that's for me when all the guests leave

I did reserve some of the apfelwine for longer aging, but the apfelwine/cider combo was a major hit at our holiday gathering.

Aspirin and water before bed, and all is well.

Of course, there IS a limit to what the body can take.

Sounds like someone didn't read the General Warnings. :cross:

GENERAL WARNINGS

Excessive consumption of Apfelwein WILL get you drunk at warp speed.

Drink a quart of water and take 3 aspirin before going to sleep tol help reduce the effects of excessive Apfelwein consumption as well as the urge to call EdWort a M'F**kR the next morning!

Nice on Edwort Touch'e

Too Funny Ed!!!

I agree Apfelwein is a nasty hangover.

I saw on a tv show called Manswers that if you drink a glass of pear juice before getting lit, it dilates the blood vessels in your brain preventing the hangover headache.

I'm sure there are limits, but this has been working for me.

I think it has to be Prickly Pear

That's odd. It must be psychological or something then, cuz I've been doing the pear juice thing a while now.

Watch, I'll try it tonight and it won't work:drunk

Sorry if I mislead anybody

I read the warnings, that is sort of what prompted me to call him a mother****er. That and the splitting headache that lasted almost all day.

So, you called me that in a...straight, guy to guy, buddy way, right? :cross:

My SWMBO (a hearing specialist in the school district) promised a couple of the custodians in her school a few bottles of my homebrew for the holidays.

To her...all brown bottles look alike and she ended up giving each of them two random bottles from the fridge.

While we were out of town, I asked her which beers she had handed over. She described the cap label on them (they of course said "apfelwien"). I said a quick prayer.

Apparently the guys enjoyed their "apple beer" a lot...the night they drank them...back to back...

Apparently, they did not enjoy the next morning and have politely declined any more of my homebrew.

On an upside, I am a bit of a legend now. "Boy...if your husband can drink those and not pass out...he's more man than me...".

Ironic isn't it?

Or is it the Triscuts?????

I took a bunch of Apfelwein with me to Michigan for Christmas.

It was fun watching my mom get bombed on them and then trying to candle her ears for the first time.

Good times.
