I bought a 5-pound bag of corn sugar. How can I measure out 1 pound at a time without scales?

What do you think the limit of improvement over time would be? A couple of years? I guess it depends on how long you've been making this stuff.

Sounds good. Thanks.

I'll probably bottle it after a couple of months in the fermentor then...after all, I want to make other stuff.;)

Can anyone recommend me something to buy that tastes decent and has bottles that work well for Apfelwein?

How well does Apfelwein age? Should I age it in the fermentor or the bottle?

With all the pro-carbonation posts in this thread I am wondering if I should even bother to make a non-carbed batch.

:D :rockin: :drunk:

Can I use flip-top bottles instead of wine bottles?

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to give that a try.

Ya gotta love this guy. Even though he does so much wrong he's pretty meticulous about it.:D He seems so proud of the equipment his Uncle passed on to him...he's discovered the joy of homebrewing - good for him. Someone just needs to give him a few pointers, and he'll be a master brewer in no...

Which one do you like best?

I've only tried a few, but so far I LOVE their American Pale Ale and American Pale Ale 2 (no longer available). Their Old Ale and Arrogant Bastard kits also deserve an honorable mention.
