Man, I don't know if I'll have enough left to bottle, as I keep stealing glasses as it goes. I think the fermentation is over, and all 3 gallons taste different. Still tasty though.

Well worth the effort. Tastes like your sitting at an outside cafe on the platz in Frankfurt am Main

Na zdorov'ya (На здровя) means "on (or to) your health" in Russian. Many other languages say apx the same thing before a drink, so I would say that's a fair aproximation of a toast.

Leftover apfelcorn. Its old but its liquid. Been in the jugs for about 2 hours and already have a little foam forming.

Just jumped in. Been following this thread since it was young, but never tried it. Bought 3 gallons of Motts, and saved some old caps. Drilled 2 caps and fitted them with airlocks & sterilized them. Poured my daughter 2 cups of juice and pitched 1/2 a packet each of montrachet and 1118 (I'm...
