We had the tail gate all set up by 11AM - the concert was late afternoon (i think around five or six). I had crushed both growlers by myself by about 2PM and then went on to a few BMC's (quality truly doesnt matter at that stage of the game). Did not drink a drop inside of the concert as I could barely stand at that point (was more of a constant swager).

If it had been 2 growlers of blackberry wheat I would have been able to handle myself ok but since this was the first time I really got into my first batch of apfelwein I didn't understand that it was pure gasoline until I was wearing necklace of beer cans made custom for me by some random parrothead lady and making use out of a super soaker that someone handed to me by was squirting it at passerbys - I didn't realize that whoever gave it to me had filled it with BMC rather than water until it was too late......
Lets just say that SWMBO had great patience that day. The HO was so bad I can't even do it justice by trying to describe it.

All of this by complete accident - Heed Ed's warning: APFELWEIN WILL GET YOU DRUCK AT WARP SPEED!
 
I love Apfelwein!!! But if you don't know when to stop you shouldn't start with this stuff. After a couple of glasses my wife is calling it elfinwine, the neighbor is calling it elfjuice. In their defense we live on top of a snowy mountain where elves do make wine and I usually end up under a tree in the snow talking to the elves...I love Apfelwien and I don't know when to stop.
 
The thing is with this stuff that it sneaks up on you. Sober then DRUCK there's not a lot of inbetween, especially if you drink it fast which is easy to do
 
I love this stuff. The Wife loves this stuff, everybody we let sample it, really loves the stuff. I have a carboy dedicated exclusively to aphelwein.

I am already into experimentation phase with different fruits. I just wish I could figure out how to get a pineapple flavor to it. I love pineapples.

In fact I have another batch now that is just about ready to bottle. 5 gals of straight & 5 gals of Blueberry.
 
Hahahahaha, I dont feel so bad now waking up on the floor between the bathroom and the bedroom.

"...So you dont end up calling Edwort a Motherf*cker"

Isnt that one of the first things said in his initial thread?
WE LOVE YOU EDWORT!

Paul the Nurse turned me on to this ****. I am doing an online MBA right now and one night a couple courses ago I was sitting at my bar doing school work. Note I have working taps. I had 6-7 AW's and tried to go to the bathroom. I fell off the stool the stool fell on me. I called Ed Wort a MF, fell asleep on the floor. Woke up 3 hours later went to the bathroom and staggered back to the couch and was woken up at 645 am by my daughter. My wife, having heard the rucus the night before decided to punish me and not get out of bed. Worst day of my life...... NEVER AGAIN.... Until the next time.....
 
I warned my roommate.

It was her 30th birthday party, the DJ was rockin, and the kegerator was close by.

"all I drank was that damn apple cider. not a drop of anything else!" She says.

That night I went to bed at 6am, someone else started cooking pancakes. Half hour later she crawls in bed with me. (THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE) and she snuggles up against me, thanking me for the ciders. She starts getting frisky, then says 'I want pancakes' and leaves. WTF.

People are still telling her what she did that night.

Somewhere on here, there is the story of a guy who took his wife to a football game, and she enjoyed a little too much apfelwein during the tailgate party. Long story short, she ended up losing physical control of her body, and they spent most of the game in the restroom. I mean, over-the-top, call the paramedics drunk! It's a pretty harrowing story, probably worth some time with the search function to find it.

Ah, that didn't take long!

Edwort's Apfelwein and Me

hehe I heard that story before Chris posted it, when he came over to my house for a brew day. Of course in reply I offered up some apfelwein from my keg. :eek:
