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

[jo7hs2]

98EXL,

I generally only brew in somewhat over one or somewhat over two gallon batches. I use 1 gallon jugs as secondaries, that way I can just stick a "cork" in them when they are done, saves space and cost. I also feel cider belongs in a jug. After all, they are called cider jugs. I'm really glad, too, I can't imagine filling my apartment with the smell of 5 gallons of Montrachet fermented fluids!

**From question on page 53**

2301 + 5 = 2306

First time trying it, going with WLP300 yeast

 

[N3WWN]

2306 + 1 = 2307 (started a gallon with cherry cider over the weekend)

 

[lackofstyl]

have my first batch in cellar for a month now, cant wait to keg it

2307 + 5 = 2312

Five more here, spiced it up a bit for thanksgiving! I'm sure it's gonna be a hit. that makes 2317!

 

[kinison_fan]

+5 kegged last night, (sample tasted very good), 2322 gallons.
+5 back on the yeast cake

2327

 

[benner81]

2327 + 5 = 2332

just started a batch with turbinado sugar and pasteur champagne yeast

 

[Sir Humpsalot]

My new recipe: Apfelwein with a shot of dark rum. It kills the sourness, but in a different way than sweetening does. Very tasty!

 

[Schlenkerla]

2332 + 5 = 2337 :rockin:

 

[ZacMac]

2337 + 5 = 2342

 

[EdWort]

2327 + 5 = 2332

just started a batch with turbinado sugar and pasteur champagne yeast

Sounds interesting. How much sugar and how many gallons?

 

[Whiskey]

2332+1 (My first)= 2333

Shockingly easy.

 

[EdWort]

2333+5 = 2338

 

[Kubed]

2338 + 5 = 2343

 

[ScubaSteve]

2343+5=2348

I did mine "holiday style", using 2 lbs dark brown sugar, 1 tbsp cinnamon, and 2 crushed cloves. Smelled great....but damn! My kitchen floor is sticky!

 

[Liquidsandwich]

2348+ 5= 2353 (cider instead of juice)

 

[brewinfool]

2353 + 10 more gallons = 2363

made mine w/ cinnamon, cloves and allspice for halloween

keep on pourin'

 

[e lo]

2363 + 5 = 2368.

Had to use different yeast, as my LHBS was out of Montrachet. I tried Red Star's Pasteur Champagne. We'll see how it goes. This being my first try at Apfelwein, SWMBO was non-plussed with how much apple juice wound up in the cart at the grocery store yesterday...

 

[AnOldUR]

2368 + 5 = 2373

First time. Threw it together after diner last night. That was pretty easy. Now comes the hard part, waiting!

Read here that light won't hurt it, so trying to convince my SWMBO that it makes a nice conversation piece in the dining room. What do you think?



Thanks Ed!

 

[Hill Country Brewer]

2373 + 5 = 2378

I'm a first timer on the Apfelwein...took about 40 minutes total yesterday from start to clean up. I used the original recipe for the first time and am looking forward to it in 4 weeks.

 

[brewinfool]

apple growers REJOICE!!!

 

[shunoshi]

2378 + 5 = 2383 Gallons!

I have a second batch rolling, but this time I decided to tweak it holiday style with some brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves.

 

[JalaPeno]

2383 + 5 = 2388

 

[JohnBarleycorn]

2388 + 6 = 2394

 

[Danny013]

2394 + 5 = 2399

Went with the basic recipe, but used Cote des Blancs instead of Montrachet and added 2 tsp. of nutrient.

Started my first batch last night. I used Lalvin k1-v116. I see slow activity this am.

 

[andyp]

Started my first batch last night. I used Lalvin k1-v116. I see slow activity this am.

Interesting, I had that one and the EC-1118 but (last night) chose the EC-1118 instead. Let us know how the k1-v116 turns out.

2399 + 2 = 2401

 

[Fish]

I will report but I didn't add my numbers:

2401 + 5 = 2406
