What is the maximum amount of time that Apfelwein can sit in my primary? Its just hit the 4 week mark, but I dont have time or enough bottles to bottle it. Can it stay around 6 weeks with out it getting funky???

BoxerDog said:In my first batch that I bottled ( and was consumed fast), I noticed that after I had to move my mr.beer keg and some trub got mixed up with the apfelwein, it was on the sour side.
jdcoffman said:geez, I made it to about page 15 before I skipped to the end! I think I might need to try out this recipe and see how people like it.
It sounds tasty to me!
jdcoffman said:oh and can you tell I just keep refreshing my page obsessively?
I work for a local TV station and we only have 2 newscasts on Saturday so it gets pretty darn quiet.
jdcoffman said:funny, are they easier to clean since the tops are wider than a traditional carboy?
DeadYetiBrew said:Ed Wort you are on the verge of 100 Pages...
EdWort said:And the verge of 1,000 posts and 500 gallons. Whoo Hoo!
Who's drinking any tonight?
DeadYetiBrew said:I'm drinking if we ever bottle tonight... Unfortunately we don't have quite enough bottles... Might have to resort to using the apple juice containers. After all the amount that will be in the apple juice container will be drank by people who don't care all that much as long as it has alcohol. lol...
EdWort said:Apple juice jugs work fine. Just sanitize them and drink that stuff first. Done it myself in the earlier days and when I use my 6 gallon Better Bottle. 5 in the keg and 1 in a jug.
DeadYetiBrew said:EDIT: damnit I took the first page 100 post... Yay it made 100 but i wanted ed wort himself to make the post... sorry ED, and Congrats...
BoxerDog said:I looked around for this using the search and wanted to double check .....anyways I want to bottle carb. my apfelwein, just use the standard 3/4 a cup of corn sugar??
jdcoffman said:What do you all typically bottle the deliciousness in? I was thinking about picking up a few big growlers, I am going to try my throwing my first batch together this week (hopefully), I thought I might throw a couple sixers and make them fizzy, but other than that I figured I'd leave the rest dry.
