So mine has been sitting for 2'ish months in the carboy and hasn't cleared; of course re-reading this I realized I used cider not juice. Is there anyway to get the wine to clear or should I just bottle and deal with it?
Thanks,
Well after acquiring my father's wine making equipment I thought that this might be a very good point to start.
I'm not sure how well this will work after a number of slight issues, namely the inability to acquire any of the standard yeasts (ended up using AW4) and scales that can't weigh decimal points, but hey you can't have everything.
Starting SG of 1.064 so expecting somewhere around 10%
It's now sitting in the coolest spot in the house and I'm now counting the days until I get some tasty wine
Ah.... Right.... That sulphur smell... Is the generally accepted wisdom to wait a day and if it doesn't improve add yeast nutrient?
Hi all. I just got home from Frankfurt and had the Apfelwein with the carbonation. It was waterd down slightly but friggin delicious. I am going to try and make some, but my question is how to carbonate it. I am pretty sure in Germany they just add seltzer water to it before they serve it. Anyone?
Thanks
Your pictures aren't loading for me but once the main fermentation phase passes, I always top of with fresh juice, all the way to the bottom of the neck. If you have more than 32oz of headroom, you probably ought to do most of it today, then the final pint tomorrow.
Should I carbonate it while "conditioning"?
Also, how much co2 psi do you guys recommend for this style?
Thanks
Yeah, it doesn't take a lot of time, but I only made a gallon, and after 2 1/2 years there's still a bottle left. I don't see the sense of making something if she isn't going to drink it! She likes the Mike's Lemonade, so maybe I'll see if'n I can find a good recipe for that and see if that goes any faster than the Apfelwein didAgree with BamaProud. You cant even count this as brewing. It takes a probably 1/2 hour including sanitizing and finding all my stuff
