That is to funny. I am a huge Thinkgeek fan and they never stop entertaining me lol.

is there be any reason not to make Apfelwein in a Pail?

Good luck Hartski. I did my first brew almost 2 weeks ago and am looking forward to bottling soon and starting my next batch!

This is awesome info since my wife does not like sweet hard cider! Thats really who I am really worried about. She Loves Original Sin Hard cider if anyone has had that...

So, I read on here about Apfelwein and I am interested in making it. My only worry is that it is very dry. I know you can sweeten it, but sweet doesnt always equal not dry. How dry is this stuff?

Thats a good point... Revvy, if you could please post the book on here that would be great. I cant run all over the forums cutting and pasting everything into a word document! :mug:

Revvy, you are the god of newbie questions. When is your book coming out?:D

I know its a pain man, but I would not use that type of bucket because of infection possibilities. Here you go http://www.brewmasterswarehouse.com/product/0101621/65-gallon-fermenting-bucket

I pay the 5ish dollars for 6 gallons of spring water. Its premeasured and easy to get into the pot. Plus I dont worry about the water having anything in it.

Link or it didnt happen :-)

Oxyclean did the deed. Worked like a charm. ONly about 20 minutes and the lables were falling off or floating. I used a whole scoop in a 5 gal bucket. I just rinsed the crap out of them to be safe.

Thanks guys!

Or is this an infection? There are clear bubbles now below the thick foam (those floaty thing are cloves and ginger). And it is also now breaking through the foam in vein like streaks.

Revvy, You are my beer god. :D Seriously man, you answer ALL the questions I ask, which have all been answered 1000 times before! Thanks again man.

So I have a butt load of commercial beer bottles. I just cleaned out 45 of them with boiling water and a SMALL amount of bleach. The person who gave them to me does not rinse their bottles out so I wanted to loosen any mold and crap in side them. I was hoping the boiling water would loosen...

Congrats and welcome to the forum! I started my first home brew last week and I am already to start another batch.

So I have read a bunch about people using blow off tubes. Are there common style of beers or yeasts that need blow off tubes or is it more of a random thing?

Anyone have any luck with a specific solution or brand of sanitizer? just thinking ahead for when my "free" stuff that came with my kit is gone.

really good prices with cheap shipping too... I know where I am getting my next couple buckets...

I had no idea Kegs were so inexpensive... hmmm.. :p:D
