Routine of the Day – In 20 minutes complete as many rounds as possibly of:

I managed to finish 10 rounds this time, plus a short round of 3 HSPU, 8 Pistols and 12 Ring Dips. I am pleased with my score this time around, more so because I managed to finish all the HSPU’s unbroken.
Update on Apfelwein – Gravity reading taken (finally)
Posted by bradinator in Beer, Hobbies, Home Brewing on February 12, 2010
So over three weeks later I finally got around to taking a gravity reading on the Edwort’s Apfelwein. I wanted to wait until the fermentation had visibly calmed down and until a few days ago it was still very active. I grabbed the gravity reading last night and was happy to see its come down a long way, giving an SG reading of 0.996-0.998, or around 10% ABV. I the carboy a good swirl to stir up the yeast and plan to do once a day for the next couple to see if I can get the yeast to continue working.
The goal is still 0.990 final gravity, but that is a long way off at this point. The plan is still keeping the wine in the carboy for at least another 5 weeks, then an additional 8 weeks in bottles. I may even wait until after my trip before I rack it.
