apfelwein attacks

[BuffaloSabresBrewer]

I mixed my apfelvein with some 7up for a more refreshing thirst quenching drink and boy did it ever sneak up on me. I guess I forgot the warning that it will get you drunk at warp speed. Thanks Ed!

I still have a few weeks to go for my first batch

 

[Schlenkerla]

That's no $hit. I drank some ~ 2 pints after a few beers..... Hello.... 7Am on the couch asking WTF happened???

Come to think of it I need one....

Just checked the current batch 1.008. Need too wait a bit longer....


I got a $hirt load made w/ Cote De Blancs. Time to pop the seal...

 

[DeathBrewer]

oh dear. one of these days i'll have to tell the story of my first partay with apfelwein and the black metal chick that made everyone's night...but not today

 

[Dr_Deathweed]

I think all us apfelwein makers have a "and then I woke up going WTF!?!?!" story hidden somewhere:rockin:

 

[Yuri_Rage]

Never, ever drink three 22 oz bombers of apfelwein, even if it's New Year's Eve. It hurts. A lot.

 

[Laurel]

Maybe I need to get the recipe for this apfelwein I keep reading about...

 

[Revvy]

I did three pint glasses of it last night.....I didn't have as bad as a headache as I thought I would....It only felt like someone was shoving an icepick between my eyes, as opposed to feeling like someone was hitting me with a sledgehammer.....

Of course I did wish DB's metal chick was around!

Found that out the hard way. I try to stick to a couple of 12 ozers now.

When you do get around to it, remember that the story is useless without pictures! :cross:

I had two 12oz glasses the other night, and enjoyed them so much I figured I'd have a third. Nodded off right there on the sofa...woke up around 4:00AM with a splitting headache. I may have to print "WARNING: Stop after 2 glasses!" on the keg, just to remind me.

 

[brandona33]

Had some buddies over last night, we had 3-4 homebrews, then 2 pints of Apfel...I also woke up with the WTF!!! goin on

 

[brauhaus]

i just cracked open my batch and served it to some friends over lunch.... WOW... let's just say they decided to stay for dinner to sober up

Hey, don't hold back... we want to hear that story.

So does this stuff really have the potential to ruin your next day? I mean, I am getting exited to whip some up next week, but in reading these, I realize that everyone who drinks it ends up with a WTF headache! So is it bad news to get drunk off the apel or what? I wanted to brew up 10 gal and get everyone hammered for fishing opener, but it wont be worth it if everyone is going to be sick the next day... or will it!?



Thanks


DB

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!

[Notnice]

wow, I was going to hold back, but after reading this I will definitely have to make some of this magic drink

 

[Korben]

My first batch is going right now... It has been going for a little over a week with 3068 and is still bubbling about ever 5-8 secs. The Rhino-fart smell is still apparent but not as bad as it was the first 2-4 days. I can't wait for this. I think the 2 lbs of dextrose plus some sugar in the raw (per request) I can't wait to try this...

 

[homebrewer_99]

I'm on my 5-6 batch...I still have bottles left from 2007...

What's this "hangover" that everyone talks about???

I haven't had one in over 30 years, even with full bottles of Ouzo...

The trick is to drink several glasses of water before passing out/going to bed. The water re-hydrates your brain which is the source for the HO.

I've had 4 glasses of AW and am on my 2d glass of Blue Moon clone. It's 1217AM and I have the alarm set for 6AM so I can go to work...I know I'll make it without any problems...

Apfelwein will make you forget your gender, race and species.

...I heard that happens to foreigners visiting the US who drink whiskey as well as Americans who drink "to-kill-ya" and Ouzo (they don't complain much about the headachs as they do about the sore butt)...
so I've heard...

That's no joke, it really works! Just plow through several glasses, consider it medicine and drink it down. I usually take a single aspirin as well, a doctor friend says it thins the blood and helps your circulatory system recover.

Of course the hard part is to remember to do so. When out of town on business, I generally end up drinking a fair bit with clients...before leaving the hotel, I'll put a water glass on my pillow to remind me to rehydrate before crashing. It's particularly important when attending conventions: few things on earth are more unpleasant than walking around a crowded convention center with a hangover.

The problem with the massive hangovers is people are drinking wine out of beer glasses. Don't do that! It will F you up, man.

Like presenting your research hungover..... Fun convention, BAD day....

 

[homebrewer_99]

It's 735AM and I'm at work all sprite and chipper...nary a pain to be felt...

I drank a growler of apfelwein followed by a growler of my blackberry wheat at the Jimmy Buffet concert last summer - I blacked out
