I'm thinking of brewing up a batch of Edwort's Apfelwein. I used to live in Frankfurt and really enjoyed the apple wine. But looking at Edwort's recipe, he adds sugar and gets the ABV up to ~9%. I seem to remember the ABV of apple wine being around 5%-6% - and even then I'd off mix it with sparkling water, so the ABV went down to ~2.5%, i..e I could drink the stuff all day.
Anyway, I'd prefer to make a batch that matched the Frankfurt-style apfelwein as opposed to a higher alcohol style. If I don't add the sugar, will the ABV come in around 5% and be closer the German style?
Thanks.
