Why did it take me so long to try this?

Sampled my first bottle of Apfelwein for the 2014 season. It has been 7.5 months coming, and I must say it was well worth the wait. I ended up a hair over 9.5% on the ABV, but the heavy alcohol bite is not present. I will definitely have to pace myself with these. :tank:

I see it all the time and have never tried it. There's always something that sounds more interesting from them right next it on the shelf.


It is a solid lager. I am now on a porter from the same brewery. ImageUploadedByHome Brew1411852568.491952.jpg also quite good.

I had a kegging sample of my ESB and now, since the bottling operations on my sour on hold for the day (broken bottling bucket valve), I am having a Skull Splitter for the first time. Doesn't say on the bottle, but it tastes like an old ale. I like it.

I'm brewing that tomorrow. Any last minute advice? Looks great every time I see it here.

I just followed the recipe as closely as possible doing BIAB and it turned out great. Read through the thread and go for it! I wish there was something profound I could say or some secret to this recipe, but it's all there! Let us know how it goes! Oh, looking back at my notes, this did seem to want a higher fermentation temp than my room temp (around 72-74F). Since I don't have a temperature controlled fermentation set-up, I did primary fermentation on a heating pad set to the lowest setting and I wrapped it in a space blanket. If you want to read through my journal/blog, it's at :
