Hello All,
I recently started a 5 gallon batch of Apfelwein using EdWort's recipe found here:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f25/man-i-love-apfelwein-14860/
I tried poking through the thread to find a consistent answer on how to bottle this, as I don't have kegs, but I wasn't able to find anything.
My main concern is that since the Apple Juice has so much sugar in it, adding a primer before bottling could result in some explosions. I really do want to carbonate the Apfelwein though, and kegs are not an option for me right now.
Will it be ok to add the standard 5oz of priming sugar for the 5gal of Apfelwein, or should I cut back?
Thanks
