Thanks for replies! So then...would I be correct about it just being dryer when carbonating unless I sweeten it up? Thanks again.

Thanks for the recipe! I'm just a noob and have a couple dumb questions if you don't mind. I saw this and had to try it. I started a 3 gallon batch yesterday, hope it turns out. I've done everything according to recipe except I could not find yeast energizer, so I just used the same amount of...

OK thanks guys.

Interesting link...thankyou.

Hey guys...I was wondering if someone could tell me the exact diameter of their cornys for me. I've googled and searched, and I get everywhere from 8" - 9-1/2". I've got a little old freezer ("General" is the brand - 5 cu.ft) that doesn't get used and I'd like to transform it if it'll work...

Ok, I see. Thanks. So you're bottling it in smaller bottles and capping when you do it. That's the part I wasn't getting. I thought somehow some of you were carbonating in regular wine bottles. I think for my first batch I'll just stick to adding some club soda in a glass for bubbles! Thanks...

Hello...I'm a newb to wine making and this site, but am diving in head first. I've got a couple kits on the go right now, but really want to try Ed's apfelwein. It looks simple enough, but what I'm wondering about is carbonating it. Would someone kindly step me through it, or at least point me...
