Can hardly wait for the drawing. Woo Hoo!

Checking in. I'm in Smyrna, moved up from Brunswick almost a year ago.

Pleeeze oh pleeeze!

I feel like a winner!

Batch # 3 started back on the 19th. Batch #4 to begin within the week. It has been repeated, but necessarily so and I will join the chorus, Before the first batch is done, start another batch. This stuff will disappear!

I've got batch #2 of EdWort's original recipe in the carboy and anticipating bubbles by morning.

I hastily threw all 5 gals back into the plastic jugs my apple juice came in. I didn't find it to greatly affect the flavor. I'm down to the final gallon jug (gotta brew NOW) and it is still as drinkable as when "jugged".

Just checked my apfelwein started on July 26. Gravity is .998. It appears cloudy in the carboy. Once I sampled my sample, I found it to be a clear straw to gold in color. The flavor on the front of the palate is delicious! Time to bottle and start afresh. Again and again, many many thanks...

JustDave, You aren't kidding! It's like War and Peace, only you can't brag to all your friends and co-workers about your summer reading.

Hi Y'all, I've been sequestered over in the Apfewein thread and thought I'd step out, rub my eyes, and see what else is going on here. I'm getting back into brewing after a long hiatus. Here's a toast to all of us! :mug:

5 gals bubbling away: 7098

I'm getting back into homebrewing after a nearly decade hiatus (don't ask). Many thanks to Ed for providing just what I needed - a recipe simple enough to ease me back into the brewing life! I purchased 5 gals of apple juice from Walmart, ordered 2 lbs of dextrose and a pack of Montrechet...
