I'm making another 5 galons of cider and going for gold, i'm not patient enough to do this one gal at a time.. all 5 gal it is!! i'm going to try this out and see what happens

This turned out pretty darn good.. i had to add 2 1/2 cups more sugar tho to make up for the lack of sugar in tea. Bottled it yesterday

Hats off to you Ed Wort, i just sampled my first batch of this and give it 2 thumbs up! then after 4 glasses i started seeing double and gave it 4 thumbs up!

my cider had stopped bubbling so i'll be trying this technique Friday or saturday. I just went and bought apple pie spice at the store. gonna start off w/ a couple spoonfuls and see how it goes.

Made my first batch yesterday.. hopefully it turns out ok. Here's what i did boiled 46 lipton tea bags in 3 gal of water for 35 mins added 2 TBLS of honey 1/2 cup of brown sugar 2 lbs of corn sugar 1/4 cup of lemon juice I cooled it down to 90 degrees, added 2 more gal. Water temp...

Not a bad idea! what spices do you use?

Thanks for the advise, i'm gonna let the Afelwine dry out then move to secondary and add some spices to be safe... this is my first batch of Afelwine and would rather play it safe!

I'm making a version of of Edworts Apfelwein and wanted to add some cinnamon, spices ect.. i've read if I add spices to the primary it will end up tasting bad so i removed the cinnamon sticks. Is it safe to add the spices after i put in secondary?

I started mine last Saturday too and the bubbles have slowed as well.. it seems from everything i've been reading it says to let it sit for at least 4 weeks before doing anything. Is yours starting to smell like sulfur too?

Nevermind, just googled it.. Thats a great idea! thansk for the help!

what's a blowoff? Sorry Nonyaz! haha

My batch of Chrismas Ale blew last night! I filled the bucked up too much and blew the lid clear off. Is my batch still good? Should i take some out? Any advice is appreciated Also, anyone have a favorite cleaner that gets dried crusty yeast/hops off celing?!

I'll be making this tonight, sounds good

I made 5 gal of this the other day but added a cup of brown sugar and some honey.. can't wait to try it

Thanks for the info, i'll get them outta there! Hopefully i didn't do too much damage
