I really don't actually. In fact I love it. Just trying to be an antagonist to the ever so popular thread : "Man, I love Apfelwein"
With the options to back-sweeten (or not), carb (or not) - there's something for everyone in the world of apfelwein.
I have a 3 gallon batch of Apfelwein going...looking forward to trying it! A nagging question is still in my mind: Is there anyone who didn't like Apfelwein? As I already have another 5 gallons set to go, I'm just wondering...
Apfelwein is the devil.
Marionberry Apfelwein is the devil's naughty half-sister with the groovy tatts and creepy eyes.
My German friend who came to visit had a "brew chat" with me. He claims, that in Germany, people blend their favorites together. Stating, while the beer is usually flat, they do mix it with apfelwein or other fruit concocted brews.
A German friend of mine in Nurnburg introduced me to hefeweizen/cola. Yep, it's just what it sounds like: roughly 50/50% hefeweizen & coca-cola. With a slice of lemon on a hot summer day. As bad as it sounds, it actually tastes pretty good; but you sorta have to be in the mood for it Give it a try, feel free to change up the ratio. Regards, GF.
I lived in Budapest for 6 months in college and the Hungarian students like to drink red wine mixed with coke. The Greek students drank ouzo mixed with coke.
I bottled my first Apfelwein about a month ago. 1/2 carbed and the other half still.
Opened a bottle of carbed last night with SWMBO and after we finished that opened a bottle of the stlll...........woke up this morning fully clothed lying on the kitchen floor and SWMBO lying on the floor of the guest bedroom.
Guess we really, really enjoyed it!!
