Been reading up on apfelwein recipes here at HBT. Seems that no one does a boil as you would with wort. Is this because the main ingredient (apple juice) is pasturized and considered bug free?
What about the dextrose then? It seems that members are just mixing it with apple juice and pouring straight into the fermenter. Wouldn't you want to boil it first with some of the apple juice first to kill off any wild bacteria? Am I missing something?
For those wanting to make apfelwein... Another great resource to buy apple juice is WinCo (a discount food store). I got 5, one gallon containers of Langers Apple Juice for just under $17 !
