Only thread i've seen is the recipe page and it doesn't address this; has anyone backsweetened apfelwein? and to what extent? I'm going to try some and I don't like dry.

Are you planning on not carbing it? If your going to make still cider then backsweetening is an easy process. Just add sorbate and potassium metabisulphite after fermentation then sweeten to your liking. Of course if your planning on carbing your apfelwein, this process will not work for you. If your kegging it, you can also backsweeten and have it carbed. Some people will add a sugar substitue like splenda to backsweeten and carb, however, some say the taste is not as good. There are options...depends what your looking to do.
Actually if you've read the ORIGINAL APfelwein thread he talks about sweetening it in the FIRST post.
Did you notice the section on Sweetening it under "general questions."

Monster thread about it here
If I'm going to back sweeten i use a splash or two of Sprite or 7up. I keg it so i serve it sparkling and when I'm feeling really fancy i rim the glass in a cinnamon/sugar mix.
Revvy beat me to it.

Ah, I never found the original thread. That helps. I do not plan on kegging/ carbing.
