I know there are mentions of it in the original thread if you want to wade through the hundreds of pages. I plan on kegging mine but bottle conditioning works just as well apparently.
All I do is carb mine, but I mostly just give it away too. My mom loves the stuff and so do my aunts. I stick it in a 1 gallon cube and take some to them on the weekends. they mix it with cranberry juice.
I think it tastes great anyway you drink it but I like the sprazzle a little more.
Bottle conditioned 1st batch of apfelwien. It's going fast. I used 1/2 # corn sugar to carb. It's taking a long time to get carbed. Opened one tonight and its nearly perfectly carbed. It definately adds something positive vs. still.
