    Man, I love Apfelwein

    Started at 1.058 it's at 1.010 now, started it 11/1/13. My house is around 62 degrees inside (I prefer cooler temps), so I did have a heater (brew belt style) on the last week. It seems to have an active ferment going and it's definitely never stopped gassing out. Thanks Will

    Initial primary ferment question (total newbie)

    At 95 days in I finally racked it this weekend and took a taste. It's drinkable but kinda bitter... SG is .995 it cleared down pretty decent so far. What can I do at this point? I was thinking about bottling this weekend as its not gassy at all Thanks! Will

    Initial primary ferment question (total newbie)

    My air lock hasn't shown activity for a week or so, is this normal? Should I just keep it airlocked and let it settle out? Thank you! Will

    Strawberry wine

    I have a batch started right now also, I used 3lbs/gallon (6 gallons), got fresh strawberries for $2/lb at the one market by my house (grown in mexico, works for me) My initial was 1.083 when I added the yeast (24 hours after everything else), that was 1/23. 1/31 I was down to 1.003 already...

    Man, I love Apfelwein

    Has anyone tried making Apfelwein with Wyeast 4184 sweet mead yeast? I was digging around today and came across that stuff, sounds like it would work well! Just wondering. Will

    Initial primary ferment question (total newbie)

    I think it's up high enough, looks kinda disgusting in the wonderful iPhone flash, didn't think it necessary to break out the big camera for this LOL When I swapped from my primary to the carboy, I topped off with preservative free white grape juice. It's at the bottom of the neck, I think...

    How long does Edwort's Apfelwine take to ferment?

    Not sure what to tell you, just throwing this out there, mine is 8 days in and still bubbling every 2-3 seconds, took about 2 days to really get going. Using the red star montrachet Will

    Initial primary ferment question (total newbie)

    Ok, so a few more random questions, figure I'll post here instead of making a new thread. The strawberry is now in an airlocked carboy. Slowly bubbling still (maybe once every 30-45 seconds). I want to check the SG, but I am afraid to pull the airlock, as it's going to take a while to build...

    Initial primary ferment question (total newbie)

    Sara, thank you again for your help and optimism! My air lock is starting to slow down, good signs of things to come! If my first real attempt is successful I will be way more motivated to try something else! Will
