I've been experiencing a little cabin fever over here in the 'Sau, a little "slow death in the Midwest" if you will. Rather than dwell on this too much, I have started branching out in my hobbies. Watching LOST and playing Oblivion 24/7 isn't just cutting it anymore. Anyways, I'm brewing my own German hard cider called 'Apfelwein'.
Like the name states, it's sort of an apple wine type drink that is supposed to be REALLY good. Here are some pictures of the brewing process so far:
Notice the foam at the top. Now, I don't know if this is part of the fermenting process, but that foam will regularly disappear and reappear throughout the day. The picture on the left is before, the picture on the right is about an hour or so later:
I'm pretty excited to see the final result. Apparently it's supposed to be quite delicious and quite strong. One batch is already underway as you can see, but I plan on brewing another very soon so I can let it sit for a while. Wine is just like women, they only get better with age :)
