It depends on how many drinks I have had when I try to pronounce it but kilted brewer has it right. Storm

Ok I am ready to bottle my first batch of apfelwein, it has been in the primary for 4.5 months. What I want to do is carb half and still bottle the other half in wine bottles. Is this correct? Prime the full batch with 3/4 cup corn sugar bottle half of it in beer bottles then add 2.5-3...

Pitch means to add the yeast in this case it is a yeast that has been started separately. Rack means to transfer to another carboy. Check out the wine and mead sections of this website for more info and ideas. Storm Ps welcome back to brewing

It has that awesome underground dive bar vibe. I love it. I wish we had basements her in Florida so I could build something like this. Storm

I love it and the fact that the guy looks like Jerry Garcia makes it even funnier. Storm

Well I know this will tick some of you off: "I'd rather go hunting with Cheney than for a ride with Kennedy" " if Obama screws up health care where will the Canadians go?" on my bumper "God grants liberty only to those who love it and are always ready to guard and defend it-Daniel Webster" Storm

kewl thanks. I am in Miami a lot more that PR. Storm

Thanks for the info I guess I'll just have to go to PR more often. Storm

I have to vote for the golden anniversary. Even in my poor drunken college days I wasn't able to choke down more than two of these. I gave the rest of the 12 pack away. I bought it because it was cheaper than the high quality Beast that I normally killed the liver on. It was 9.99 for a case...

I started brewing in college. My friends really appreciated the fact that I brewed if only for the cheep beer. They would all save the bar bottles for me and would pitch in on the price of ingredients. I usually had between 12-15 cases bottled and ready with at least 10 gallons chugging away...

While the pic isn't too clear it looks like pitch from a pine tree would have in and open wound. If that is a wound then i wouldn't worry about it. If not just cut the branch a couple of inches away from the growth (towards the tree's main trunk for those educated in the public school system)...

My condolences and prayers are with you as well as my cups lifted. Storm

I love to fly. My wife on the other hand not so much. I could tell you about flying on p-3's in the Navy but I'll wait until your back on land for that. I have been through some crap though and have very rarely been bothered on a commercial flight. If it REALLY bothers you have one maybe two...

I just got back from Puerto Rico and had this rum. I am usually a scotch drinker either Johnie gold or Glenlivet Archive. However my current employment situation doesn't allow me these excesses. While I am a fan of good bourbon I have found this stuff to be not only unique but VERY tasty. The...

Why not make a blackberry mead of some kind? As I understand it these are much more friendly to long term bottle habitation. Storm

will the #8 corks hold if the bottles are racked on their sides ie... not seep Thanks Storm

So I'm ready to bottle some apfelwien. I am going to carbonate some in beer bottles and put the rest in wine bottles. I bought a hand corker with double levers. What size corks do I need #8 or #9. I plan on making a couple of wine kits in the near future if that makes a difference. TIA...

+5 more for me. 12,789 gal Storm

Well I just joined the group (gang, obsession, cult) of Apfelwein. I tries to read all 5000 + posts before I made my first batch but only made it to about 4000. I am sure I will make it through by the time (2 weeks from now or when my better bottle gets in) I put up the second batch. The only...
