After a full month in the fermenter the Strawberry Apfelwein was bottled today. Whoop!
It's dry and quite tart, with some light fruitiness detectable. I'm interested to see how this stuff evolves. I ended up with 28 bottles from my 3 gal batch; some was lost to "strawberry sludge." It's exceptionally bright even though I used no clarifiers. All in all the hard cider was a very cool experiment that I'll certainly play around with more in the future.
Also, I've received ingredients for a Witbier recipe I wrote. Weather permitting I'll brew it up sometime next week. I've also acquired another carboy. Exciting stuff!
