no real reason, just out of convenience. gotta get some more CO2 cartriges to purge the carboy at the next racking, i'll just top it up then. jkpq45: i was surprised how red mine is. there was no red left in my strawberries after i took them out of primary, they turned to grey mush (from...

welcome to HBT from another brewer up in the Hendersonville/Gallatin area :mug:

wow. I have no idea how I missed this build. friggin awesome. good luck with the rest of the build. :mug:

I've had the life-long hobby of collecting hobbies. Currently keeping myself occupied with: Volkswagens (I run a statewide enthusiast forum) Jeeps (wish I had more time to go offroad) homebrewing gardening coffee (manage a local coffee house, general coffee snobbery) playing guitar...

just racked mine to secondary last night. used pectic enzyme & the leftover "fruit" was crazy looking. a funky looking mass of grey-ish mush inside a bright red-stained nylon bag. smelled delicious though:ban: took a little sip, pretty hot but yummy.

I made 10 gallons of Ed's recipe back in 2007 & have enjoyed every last drop of it. I started another 5 gallons Sept 19th. On October 19th, I moved to secondary and decided to get fancy with it. I added: 3/4lb Golden Raisins (bought sunmaid, had to soak/rinse) 2lb Raw Sugar 1.5lb Clover...

SWBMO gave me the go-ahead on a 1 gallon batch of this (pantry currently occupied with two 6.5gal carboys). I've got 3 poulds of strawberries (quartered) in the freezer, 2 lbs light brown sugar, 1/4lb golden raisins and some Lalvin 1118. Going to skip the pectic enzyme, strain the fruit pulp...

how long would you let this age once it's cleared & bottled?

they add tannins and extra nutrients for the yeast to munch on.

I'll probably try racking onto about 12 oz. of the wildberry smoothie mix with 1/2 teaspoon of pectic enzyme in a 1 gallon jug & see what happens. :drunk:

we use Teawave brand fruit smoothie concentrate at my work & i was thinking of racking some Applewine onto it. They're preservative free & extremely tasty. The ingredients in the wildberry are: Red tea infused water, sugar, blueberry puree, raspberry puree, marionberry puree, natural...

1234: i'm actually just north of you in Gallatin. :mug: but i work in Hendersonville @ Wired Coffee. J-ROD: aircooled vw's are the shiz. all i've had were watercooled, i still itch for an aircooled. check out TNdubs.com, mostly watercooled guys but we accept all vw's.

figured i'd post up an introduction. newbie from Nashville, TN. been a lurker for a couple years. got the fermenting bug a couple years back, made a few gallons of Ed's Apfelwein & i've been hooked since. currently have 5 gallons of Apfelwein & 5 gallons of Joe's Ancient Orange Mead...

the brand is musselmans, it is good stuff. i work at a coffee shop & we use it for steamed cider. i use it to make apfelwein, 3 gallons of the musselmans with 2 gallons of the cheap stuff for a 5 gallon batch. it gives it a much darker color than using just apple juice & i think the apple...
