Hey Daze I bottled the apfelwein about 5 days ago and so far so good, no bottle bombs. Opened a bottle tonight and it's great, I do have another question, is it normal to have a very very small amount of sediment at the bottom? It's very minimal, I think I'm the only person that noticed it. Thanks

Hey daze I just checked it and it's 0.998 with very very light carb. I shook the sample it the tube and it only gave a slight "puff" Should I let it sit for a few days and check the sg again before bottling? Thanks

Im going to check it this weekend.

Thanks, I don't mean to be a pain in the a$$ but, are you sayin I can Bottle in wine bottles even if there is a light carb? I did degas last weekend, I'm gonna pull a sample this weekend and see what it's like. Thanks again.

So if you bottle and there's a light carb, will that eventually go away while aging in the bottle?

Thanks bro!!!

Thanks guys.

I have a couple questions, I searched on the site but couldn't find what I wanted to know. My 1st batch has been sitting for 2 months and I wanted to bottle it this weekend. Do I have to degas? If so should I rack and let it sit for another month after degassing? Or can I just bottle it...

Hey Same sorta thing happened with a kit I recently did. I ended up pouring all the bottles back into the primary, added 5 campden tablets. Stirred it up then racked it back into a carboy topped it up with a similar wine and let it sit for a few more weeks. This past Saturday I racked to a...
