I made a batch of EdWort’s apfelwein last year exactly as described in the original recipe with the exception of carbonating prior to bottling and it turned out great.
The original recipe is basically a “dump and go” with everything going into a carboy at once, an airlock installed and left totally undisturbed to ferment until dry.
Getting ready to start another run and started thinking about the oxygen needs of yeast during early days of fermentation.
In your opinion would anything be gained by starting the fermentation in an open primary and then racking to a carboy after a few point drop in S/G or are these musings the typical "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"?
