9928.5+3=9931.5

 

[Duckfoot]

9928.5+3=9931.5

Come on people... only 68.5 gallons to make 10K gallons by the end of the year....

 

[pww1]

9931.5 +2.5 = 9934

[jeverrocks]

9934+5 = 9939

[Jonnio]

Did another 5 tonight

9939 + 5 = 9944

 

[BargainFittings]

9944 + 5 = 9949

 

[Seabee John]

Ed, tell me you're getting the "big" batch ready as we speak!!! 10k will be a landmark moment... congrats! and oh, how many hangovers?

 

[spage]

Batches: 9949 + 5 = 9954

Hangovers: 3 (gotta start small, ya know?)

 

[Austin_]

5 more from me today.

9954 + 5 = 9959

Almost there.

 

[Jidas]

My first 5 gallons of the pale

9959 + 5 = 9964

 

[dwygrsshpr]

9964 + 5 = 9969

and a hangover from drinking about 7 bottles while surf fishing yesterday. Brrr it's cold outside

 

[angrysparrow]

9969 + 5 = 9974

This is my first brewing project in a few years.

 

[EdWort]

I'm kegging 16 gallons tonight. I have 16 gallons of Tree Top ready to go.

 

[BigKahuna]

9974.
Kegging 5 and making 5 more right behind it.
also breaking in a new bottle with an additional 5.

9974 + 10 = 9984

Getting DANGEROUSLY close.

 

[Duckfoot]

Don't make me tap into my savings $$$ to go make a monster batch to put us over the top...

I will do it anyways... Thinking of making it for next Christmas gifts....

 

[pen25]

9974.
Kegging 5 and making 5 more right behind it.
also breaking in a new bottle with an additional 5.

9974 + 10 = 9984

Getting DANGEROUSLY close.

9984 + 10 = 9994

 

[Seabee John]

is it just me...or is everyone waiting for Ed to post the BIG 10k post?

 

[BigKahuna]

is it just me...or is everyone waiting for Ed to post the BIG 10k post?

Nope....Come ON ED!

 

[BugleBrew]

+5. Holy cow thats 9999. I knew I should have made a 6 gallon batch.

 

[EdWort]

+ 16 makes 10,015

Whoo Hoo!

 

[Austin_]

Congrats, Ed. You must be proud to see your recipe reach such epic status.

 

[EdWort]

Congrats, Ed. You must be proud to see your recipe reach such epic status.

It is pretty amazing since this thread is coming up on 2 years old.

I have found that the ease of making Afpelwein has helped many folks sitting on the homebrew fence. Once they get a taste of success that they created themselves, it gives them the confidence to move forward into making beer since they have much of the equipment and most importantly, the practice at sanitizing fermenters and bottles.

I wonder how many HBT'rs got into homebrewing by giving Apfelwein a try?

 

[McNasty]

Congrats EdWort! I think I'll put together another batch tonight.

 

[Bolty]

All we have to do now is go for the 10,000 imperial gallons (12,010 us gallons).

Congrats EdWort, and thanks for the recipe

 

[jimba009]

Congratulations Ed!

 

[RonRock]

That's a LOT of good times! Followed up with a headache.

Lets go for twenty.

 

[McSwiggin']

You can chalk me up for another 5 gallons, 10,020

 

[EdWort]

Ok, time for the graph chart update!!!

 

[ChshreCat]

Fitting that Ed himself would put it over the top.

 

[McNasty]

Just finished putting it together.

10,020+5.5=10025.5

 

[Duckfoot]

Lets go for twenty.

Sounds like a challenge...

 

[bob1852]

It's prolly @ 20K+ - think of how much of this stuff has been made that hasn't been reported on this thread!

 

[heinz57]

I wonder when TreeTop is going to start giving Ed some kickbacks for all the Apple Juice that he sells.

10,000 gallons is a lot of juice.

 

[hungrymonkey]

It's prolly @ 20K+ - think of how much of this stuff has been made that hasn't been reported on this thread!

I have shared the recipe with 4 different people who are not members of hbt.

 

[brokenanchor]

Congrats Ed on getting HBTers inebriated since 7-14-2007!

 

[grlz]

add me in for 10.

10,025.5 + 10 = 10,035.5

 

[LayMeister]

Ok, time for the graph chart update!!!

Here is updated chart of our trek to 10,000 gallons.

Elapsed time was about 1 year, 10.5 months.

Average production was 14.6 gallons/day.

Biggest producer was ???? (I don't have that much detail in the spreadsheet).

Very fitting that Ed was the one to hit 10K with the awesome drink!

This thread got started on January 24, 2007. I propose we celebrate it as
"Ed Wort's Apfelwine Day" and we all commit to brewing a batch in his honor.
It conveniently is a Saturday and I commit to filling my 14 gallon demijohn
with it on that day! Here is to Ed!

I applaud you LayMeister, great job with the graph! I also second the motion to make January 24th Ed Wort's Apfelwine Day.
