I went to the homebrew store by me and asked one of the workers there about making Apfelwein.
First, he told me that right after its done initially fermenting.. after a week or so, to immediately rack it. He said that the Lees? can cause a baterial infection in the wine if it sits too long.
Supposedly you are supposed to rack it a few times during about a 6 month period before you even bottle it.
I used champaigne yeast. He told me that before I bottle and add the priming sugar.. to add another packet of yeast.
Does all of this sound right?
