blacklab said:If by that you mean, "Real men who cannot wear fitted shirts", then you are right.
The rest of us like to balance it out a bit with some lighter stuff to keep our FG from going off the charts.
brewhead said:not bad tried the Apfelwein as a whim experiment. have to say it's not too shabby. next time i believe i'll jack the dextrose tho. kegged, carb'd and on tap
Tusch said:Well I used very very cloudy organic cider on my first few batches of cider and it had a lot of sediment. But just like anything else, over time even that cleared up, so try giving it some more time before you bottle and you will have delicious perfectly clear Apfelwein on your hands.

Crazytwoknobs said:OK, so I searched this thread and didn't find that anyone had used Safale US-05. Plenty of S0-4 and US-56 references though.
I just made two 1gal batches with US-05 (the red one).
Recipie:
1gal Dominick's brand Apple Juice
1can Tree Top Concentrate
0.25 lbs dextrose (only one batch got this, and I don't know which, they look identical)
Plenty of shaking
Safale S0-5
(edit) Upon further searching, Yooper may have made some with US-05.

You did the math right, but that's a really low final gravity. 0.999 is fairly standard for this recipe.

They changed the number for some reason.
IMHO, the best dry stuff around.
cfy7 said:I just pulled off a sample of the Apfelwein that I started on the 1-10-08 and it has a slight aftertaste and odor of the elephant farts that it made in the first few days.
The OG was almost the same as in Ed's recipe, 1.062 and now it is at 1.005. Has anyone else noticed this slight off taste? Will it go away by the time it clears, or is there the possibility that I have an infection on my hands?
Thanks.
