Apfelwein questions please...

[stee41]

Ok, I fancy making this stuff but the recipe states pure apple juice, this to me is gloopy/thick, does it break down to a thinner consistency during fermentation?

Also can I make just 1 gallon of this to try it and do I have to alter the quantities accordingly or dont it work that way? ie: a 6 gallon recipe , everything will be divided by 6 if I only want to try 1 gallon?

cheers all

Not sure where you buy you apple juice but even fresh pressed cider isnt that thick. Do you guys have Motts Apple juice over there?

As far as one gallon, dont do it. You will like it and so will you friends and then you will have to go thru months of waiting to have more if you do only one gallon.
