Who remembers EdWort's Apfelwein?
I remember way back when it was all the rage and I remember my version didn't turn out.
Well, I got a wild hair and decided to try again. This time I found that Kroger sells 100% HoneyCrisp applejuice from concentrate, unfiltered... Sure enough the ingredients are just apple juice. Instead of Ed's dextrose route I used 2lb's of local honey and a gallon of Black Cherry Juice (2 quarts Knudsen and 2 quarts simple truth). I somehow hit an SG of 1.070, oops.
I remember the first time I couldn't get the correct yeast and got roped into trying another strain and the whole batch went nasty... So I used Lavlin 71b-1122...
Just reminds me of all the recipes from years back that were huge hits.
