Hey everyone,
Just got done bottling my first batch of anything, 5 gallons of Ed Worts Apfelwein. I siphoned it with a cane into a 5 gallon bucket, and took a reading while I was at it; 1.000 (7%). I went ahead and bottled, when I was done I drank what was in my graduated cylinder and a bit more out of a bottle, and almost instantly had an intense headache that I still have 40 minutes later (not as bad). I followed the recipe. What could be the cause? I live in the mountains, so the temp absolutely did not get over 75 at any point. Most likely stayed between 65-70 give or take. I bottled a bit short of the 4 week mark. Is it just too young? Will it get better the longer I let it age in the bottles?
Thanks
