Hello all,
I am making my first batch of Edwort's Apfelwein, and I am confused by some differing advice that I am reading. For many cider recipes it says to transfer the cider from the primary fermentor bottle to a secondary bottle after about a week or two. But Edwort's recipe says to just leave the apfelwein in the primary fermenter carboy for the entire 4 month process. Why do some people recommend transfer to a secondary bottle? What is the purpose of transfering?
Thanks,
Fred
