First batch of https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f25/man-i-love-apfelwein-14860/ is now underway. Ty for all of ur help in my previous thread, GREAT INPUT, https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/poor-mans-list-293201/
Our final item list came up to this
4 X 5 gallon buckets (donated used from a local home brewer)
2 X Store bought Airlocks
1 X Racking Cane
1 X Table Top bottle capper (bought from e-bay $15+$15 shipping)
2 X 2 foot sections of clear tubing
1 X valve (to make a bottling bucket)
1 X containter of StarSan
1 X no rinse soap
1 X Digital thermometer w/ probe
1 X Hydrometer
plus brewing ingredients
Total came up to $70, slightly more than a basic home start up kit, but we have some beter stuff than comes in those
We are expecting Edwort's reciepe to be a bit dryer than we prefer, but plan to back sweeten with honey or cane sugar (we do not want to use artificial sweeteners, or lactose) so our plan is to test every 2 days to check carbonation and once it is as carbonated as we want, to then pasturize by bringing a pot of water to 190 degrees F cutting power and then letting bottles sit in the water for 10 mins, got that from a post, but i can't find it now to link. Using used bottles for our batch, (primarily Samual Adams). Taking any advice out there, this is our first batch ever, so really excited!!!!
