About me I've been a computer programmer since I first started typing in program listings on a Commodore Vic 20 when I was about 8. My hobbies include electronics, CNC manufacturing, photography, beer and winemaking.
I live with my wife and lots of left-over parts from unfinished projects in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA.]

At the start of the month I embarked on a project to
make Frankfurt-style apfelwein. Today Chris and I bottled the stuff, then
sampled it at dinner with Bill and AJ.1 May 2010, 15:24 UTCMaking Cider
Inspired by a recent metafilter thread I've
decide to try to make apfelwein (frankfurter apple cider). The post linked to a massive
forum thread
on it, which has been distilled (ha!) down into a wiki page. Like it says,
there's simply nothing like apfelwein available in the US, which is unfortunate
since I like the stuff so well. I'm particularly missing it now, having just
returned from three weeks in Germany.
Today, in honor of national homebrew day, I put on my first batch of cider.
Hopefully the odors of fermentation
won't be too strong for us to handle. Unless something goes
wrong, I just have 4 weeks of waiting before the recipe's ready. Watch
this space for more details around June 1, and wish me luck at my new
hobby!
