I made an apple wine 4/27/14....checked FG 8/17/14 and tasted it.
The SG went from 1.084 to a FG at .990
I like the taste...not sweet...and I would call it dry.
Do I need to bottle or can I just serve/pour to glasses??? It is a 1 gallon jug.
Just started my first batch friday.
5gal winco foods 100% apple juice
Red Star Pasteur red wine yeast
2lbs cane sugar
OG= 1.052.
I tried to follow the original recipe but, I just wasn't able to get some of the ingredients and I was anxious to get it started, so I improvised. I guess we will just see how it turns out
I would bottle or put it into another container to get it off the yeast cake.
That seems realy low for an OG. Usually apple juice from the store is around 1.05 right out of the jug. Did you mix well?
Sorry if this has been asked before (I searched but could'nt find anything) being new to this forum, I'm not sure how to find this out, but I really want to make this and was wondering if I could use something besides corn sugar, because I'm not finding dextrose around here anywhere. Will cane sugar be a substitute?
A question for the AW experts...I had 15 gallons of the stuff aging/fermenting at a time a while back. Then my keezer ran out of CO2, and I kept using what I had in bottles. Well I filled my tank for the keezer and finished off the bottled AW. But I just realized I have a 5 gallon carboy sitting there untouched at room temp. I'm not worried about bacteria of course, but looking at my label I realized it was pitched in mid April!
Since we are nearing mid Sept I'm wondering about it...you guys think it is fine taste wise? Anything I need to do or worry about or let it ride?
The ABV on my hydrometer was 1.084, And I have not backsweetened, it's only fifteen days old, I can still see small bubble streams flowing to the top as well.What's your ABV, how old is it, and have you back sweetened at all?
Can someone advise on the amount of table sugar needed to prime/add when bottling to give a sparkling effect.
Many thanks.
Saw at walmart last night they had great value apple juice on sale...
$1.98 for 3Qt jugs....or $2.64 p/ Gallon..
Seems like a steal...Going to be grabbing some my self this weekend.
What's your abv? Thanks!
I was fishing around my beer room and there wasn't anything I could get into, ready to drink. How did that happen?
So, I got into the apfelwein. I really hate to open a beer before it's time.
This apfelwein was OK when I bottled it 8/6/2014. I didn't think it was fabulous. Just OK. A bit harsh.
Six weeks old now it's better. I had two and a half pints... Wow.. I was toast. It's very easy to go down. Still needs time. I bottled it all in pint easy caps and 22 ounce bombers. I wish I had done some 12 ounce bottles.
