This is the recipe that I used for the Apfelwein that I brought to pn0x0b this past weekend. It's also the same recipe that Skydog used for his batch (that got added in to my keg after it ran dry). It's about the easiest possible way to make tasty alcohol, and is approximately 8.5% alcohol by volume, so it will knock you on your keister with no problem.
