This took 1st Place at the 2007 Alamo City Cerveza Fest BJCP sanctioned competition for the Cider and Apple Wine Category and 2nd Place for Best of Show for Meads & Ciders!

Ingredients

5 Gallons 100% Apple Juice (No preservatives or additives) I use Tree Top Apple Juice

1 five gram packet of Montrachet Wine Yeast

Equipment

5 Gallon Carboy (I use a Better Bottle)
Carboy Cap or Stopper with Airlock
Funnel

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.

Dolemite

Extremely Easy Apfelwein (German Hard Cider)

As many of you know, I am soon to be married and as such have sold my house in order to "upgrade" to a much bigger one that will accomodate both my and my fiancee (Pamela)'s needs. Well, there's also the fact that we plan on eventually pro-creating. It's located right off of I-24 in Smyrna, up on a hill. It's actually closer to town than Pamela's current place in La Vergne, because it's literally a 2 minute drive to the interstate.

Anyway, I have pictures up. They are here. The decorations are from the guy that is selling us the house - we don't take possession until January 10, 2005.
