Hey everyone, I am making my second batch of apfelwine, following the the edwort recipe, the first batch came out well, and is now gone, the second batch has been bubbling away for 5 or 6 weeks now and should be almost ready, but the rhino fart smell has not yet disipated from the apfelwine, I take samples regularly to see if the smell has dissipated yet, but no luck. I know from lagering that sometimes you just have to wait this out and the smell drops considerably over time, but with my first batch of apfelwine the smell was gone after the third week.
Fermentation is done FG is siting just below 1.00, and I want to drink this stuff, if I bottle now is there a chance the rhino fart smell will be trapped in the bottle or will it work its self out over time in the bottle the same way it would in the carboy.
I know the key to good apfelwine is to wait, but I need some of this panty dropping liquor ready for valentines day if you catch my meaning.
