I just returned from Germany where all I drank was Apfelwine or as some called it Feetz (or something like that) and you got the taste nailed. I have to say I due enjoy the hire octane of yours. Great job Edwort thanks for bringing us this awesome brew :mug:

I've seen stuff like that with some white wines and it settles but then you racket and let it settle more. If it does stay tasting goog I might have to run it through a filter and serve it out of a pitcher into dark glasses:cool:

I didn't sanatize the concentrate I Just unthawed it and added it to the bottling bucket. As for the dinner roll my wife thought I spit a hawker in it:D It doesn't taste bad just looks terrible.

Ok I bottled my apfelwein 3 days ago and it was very clear. I took a peak in the case today and found that there seems to be something growing inside. I opened a bottle and put it into a glass to get a better picture. Please help me identify what has happen. If you cant see the image I have...

The extra sugar was more for priming then adding sweetness I hope the pear juice will add a little sweetness. If not it will be knock or sox’s of cider.

Now comes the wait. I made a case of traditional Apfelwein and a case using pear juice and a little sugar to prime and add a little sweetness.

6 more gallons 6187+6 = 6193

Does anybody know how long bottle carbonating takes? :confused:

Made my first batch 2 weeks ago and forgot to add it to the total. 1340+6=1346

LALVIN Wine Yeast EC-1118 is what I used. This the same yeast that came in a Peach cider kit that I bottled a few weeks ago. I used my primary bucket with that kit so I never seen it do this.

This is what keeps growing on top. Any help to how to stop this or better yet what caused it would be great.

Last night I made 5 gallons of Apfelwein and when I woke up today the top was covered with sludge and it had filled up my Airlock. Any Ideas as to what happen?
