Do you have to degas this stuff like wine to put it up in in wine bottles?
Yes. Or just bottle it still in beer bottles.

I just made another batch using Pasture Champaign yeast, not sure how it will turn out! It's bubbling away though.
H im sorry if this has been asked but there are so many posts on this brew its hard to find out !! lol
i want to make this in a uk 5 litre demi john, can some one reproduce this in the right amounts for a demi john please?, and then what would be best to do with the grew? put it in bottles?,and if so do i have to add gas to it?
many thanks

Doing some calculations came out to 4 litres of juice and .19 kg of dextrose. I would think that would work out well for you. I would think carbonation would be a preference. I like the idea of a highly carbonated one so I added enough sugar when I bottled to bring it up to 4 volumes, but it also tasted really good without any carbonation.
Haven't done a batch with none, so I can't really tell whether it helped at all, but it does smell a tad "rhino-farty" in then manroom right now.
After at least 4 weeks, you can keg or bottle, but it is ok to leave it in the carboy for another month or so. Racking to a secondary is not necessary.
Apfelwein really improves with age, so if you can please let it sit in a carboy for up to 3 months before bottling or kegging, then let it sit even longer. Here's what some folks think.
I understand that time in the bottle is hugely beneficial to cider/apfelwein. I'm just curious if it needs to be kept refrigerated after a few weeks, and then kept for say 6 months or more? Or is it ok to keep it in (glass) bottles in the cupboard for 6 months (at say between 60-80 degrees F)?

I'm picking up some better bottles tomorrow and going to try to make 5 gallons this week. This is going to be my first time brewing anything, besides Spike your Juice, if you can even call that brew :X
I think I'd be too impatient to wait 6 month, how dry, or typical ABV would it be at the 4 week mark? I intend to make another 5 gallons or 2 at the 2 week mark.

It would almost definitely be fully fermented at 4 weeks - so as dry and as high ABV as it's going to get - but it would still be pretty harsh. Maybe you should do two batches immediately on the same day, if you don't want to wait that long for your first batch. That would allow you to really get a pipeline started.
I think you are kidding, but selling homebrew is not legal and talking about illegal subjects tends to get threads locked.That's too bad, anyone in Seattle want to sell me a gallon of well aged Apfelwein?
Just to stagger the flow. I know I don't want to spend half a day bottling ten gallons or more lol
