So I had just tried the haus pale ale I had kegged up a week ago. It was carbed and good to go, so I went to the store to buy a pizza. Well after I had returned home and put the pizza into the oven I went to the fridge to pour a pint. My floor seemed a little wet look besides the fridge and the...

Not 100% sure but i could have sworn I read on here some where that when using store bought apple juice and s-04 by racking it you can get it to stop fermentation after its been going for awhile :confused:

From my understanding it's a pitcher for apfelwein.
