now i cant wait to try it...hopefully this weekend ill be able to get some bottles sanitized and get it bottled.

add me please

so...a year ago to date i started a batch of Edworts apfelwein. about 4 months later my son was born, and priorities changed. He is now 8 months old, and i still have the carboy of apfelwein in my basement. I kept the airlock full in hopes that someday ill get back to it. It does...
