How many gallons of EdWort's Apfelwein have been made?

[Craig5_12]

HAHAHA, it's 7:30am over here and I've had my coffee so I think I can do this math....
I just put my 2nd 5gal batch together last night. Used 2 cans of concentrate and no extra sugar, we'll see how it turns out.....

1104 + 5 = um........1109.....right?

 

[evanmars]

5 gal.

1114

 

[EdWort]

Been hitting the apfelwein a little early, huh?

It happens to the best of us!

 

[Kayos]

Dam I am an idiot. Um...what those guys said...

 

[Onescalerguy]

+5=1119(again again)
Cheers

 

[brewinfool]

1119 +5 more = 1124

just made some on 4.25

didn't wanna wait till the 1st one was gone

 

[Beerrific]

1124+5=1129

Can't wait to join the rest of the world and have a glass of this in a month or so.



Oh wow, I just realized, that is my birthday 11-29. Ha.

 

[cha ngo]

1129 + I just made my second 5 gallons:
1139

 

[fretman124]

ok...add 6 more gallons

althea's apfelwein

6 gallons 100% apple juice
2 lbs brown sugar
1 packet lalvin ec-1118

may or may not back sweeten w/ honey and apple concentrate when done.
if so i have some potassium sorbate to whack the yeast 1st.

i'll post in a month or so to let y'all know what's shakin'.

edit: so, that's 1053...because i added some concentrate and water to round it out to a nice 6.3 gallons

Thats the exact same recipe I did with my first batch. It came out extremely dry and sour, sorta like chewing on granny smith apple peels. I killed it with sorbate and added 2 lbs corn sugar and two cans concentrate to get it into drinkable condition.

I'm pretty sure its the EC-1118 yeast that does that. I did another batch with Cotes de blanc, still fermenting so no idea what thats like

Allright so I bottled today after almost two months in the primary. Ending gravity was 1.000. It's a pain in the ass to bottle because it's so fizzy. I had to put away the bottling wand and bottle from the spigot. It will get another month to condition and carbonate before I will pop one open.

[knarfks]

1139 + 5 w/ cote de blanc + 1 gallon crapfelwein experiment =

1145

 

[jdtriumph]

"Assembled" my first 5 gallons of this today (and only my 2nd brew ever) on the recommendation of a friend.

1150

 

[joebou4860]

Six more... 1156

 

[ATD]

5 more makes 1161

my first experience in brewing anything at home is quietly bubbling away in my closet.

 

[grampska]

Make that 1166

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

1171 with my first 5 gallon batch

 

[twistedinfo]

1177, im bottling 6 tomarrow.

:rockin:

 

[gonzoflick]

Between me and my buddy 10gal

1187

 

[rotary_full]

+5 gallons to the original

thread total = 1192

 

[JimiGibbs]

1192 + 5 = 1197 Gallons

Unfortunately I think I let my supply get too low and will run out before this batch is done. Going to start a new one very soon. Man I love this stuff

 

[Zymurgrafi]

well, I sure hope I like this stuff. First batch is still fermenting but apple juice was on sale again...

another 5 gallons (soon as I get some yeast and corn sugar) unless the kid gets to the juice first...


1202

 

[brewinfool]

bahhhh,

those kids don't need juice!!!

that's all for the adults now


it's funny because my 14 yr old loves apple juice and when i told her it was all for the carboy she wasn't very pleased

 

[EdWort]

picked up another 4 one lb. bags of corn sugar yesterday at AHBS. Add another 5 gallons to the mix.

1202+5=

1207

Back to 3 carboys workin it.

 

[Alamo_Beer]

so whats the new goal? 1,000,000 gallons?

 

[EdWort]

so whats the new goal? 1,000,000 gallons?

I like your thinking, but lets do baby steps first. How bout.

TWO THOUSAND GALLONS!!!!

 

[Cherry Bottom Brewing]

Add my 5 gallons to the total.

1207 + 5=
1212

 

[jdoiv]

I'm about to rack my first batch into a keg (which has already been counted on the thread earlier) and am going to put another 5 gallons right on top of the yeast from the first batch.

1212 + 5 = 1217

 

[dblvsn]

Just made 5 more.

1217 + 5 = 1222

 

[BrewDey]

Started my 1st batch of this legendary stuff last night.
1222+5=1227

 

[cdana]

Started my first batch as well a couple of days ago.

1232
