Made a batch of Apfelwein about two months ago - the temp was a little low about 64° the entire time and it finally cleared and I got my very first keg filled and on gas for carbing.
Problem is, after I had it on gas I poured out a pint and took a taste and put the rest in my hydrometer tube (I know, should have done this before I kegged ) and the FG read 1.010 at 60°. It is a little rough around the edges, but actually pretty close to the Possmann's that I have had - maybe not as dry (residual sweetness from the remaining sugar.)
Is my batch ruined?
Joking - but my question is: will I have problems with it in the keg or will the little bit of pressure from it finishing in the keg cause me problems? I figure it will probably take care of itself - maybe vent some gas everyday to avoid overcarb, but I really don't know - like I said, this is my first keg.
EdWort - thanks for the recipe, after I started this batch I went to the German deli down the street and found the Possmann's and really enjoyed it.
Sorry about the length of the post. I think this is the first time I haven't been able to find my answer in search.
