- Comment on I made a killer wort :( 1 day ago:
Btw this can be found by just using iodine solution to test it. I think that it can be found at pharmacy. Your wort is quite dark but it is doable to test it.
Put few drops of wort on plate, on side the iodine and look for colour change on the border where it mixes.

Really nice experience - 9 completely different beers, it was more local so I was bit of curiosity but I had really good chat with few people there.
Yes some stout with bourbon, beer brewed with spruce, tripels and more. Every beer just tasted completely different.

Yesterday I crossed the border, tooted on mastodon and someone told me about local craft beer fest…
I think that the first day in Belgium was really great.
- Comment on What's brewing? April 2025 1 week ago:
Yeah, I changed my plans again few weeks ago.
I met someone that I promised to show her the beer culture in CZ, so I am taking train from Brussels to Czech to meet her there in few weeks. I will skip the German/Netherlands part.
But the craft beer scene is, according to people I talked to, biggest around Barcelona. Sometimes you just randomly find some place like NASA brewery in Pontevedra (I liked it, really nice place).
- Comment on What's brewing? April 2025 1 week ago:
I live in CZ and beer is mostly water so it doesn’t make much sense to ship it that far and we have lot of small brewerys. They usually experiment somehow but not much of them got to Belgian styles.
I had few Belgian beers, one pub have sometimes few bottles, but not that much. That’s why I am going to Belgium…
- Comment on What's brewing? April 2025 1 week ago:
For me obviously nothing much in the brewing sense but I will be in the next few days in Belgium so at least some good beer after these few months.
Didn’t like that much Spanish beer, but the craft beer scene here starts to pick up and they have some nice refreshing IPAs and other ale styles (the commercial beer was nearly undrinkable). Similar in Portugal, but the craft scene isn’t that big.
I didn’t had single beer that I would consider talking that much about in France, the blonde just isn’t for me.
- Comment on Hi I just started testing home fermenting to expand the hom cookbook. I have a few questions. 2 weeks ago:
Now that there is a thread about your bomb, I just want to add that for most things you don’t exactly need fermentation cap (the bubbler). Some cloth over the top is enough.
If it doesn’t stink I would just taste it.

- Comment on Mead - what type of bottles 2 months ago:
Just to add I don’t brew mead I want to try it sometime but didn’t hot to it yet.
- Comment on Mead - what type of bottles 2 months ago:
I like bottles that don’t need special tools to close. So swingtop or even pet (if it is something I will drink soon).
- Comment on Calculating or measuring grams of suger per bottle/can like how it's printed on the label 2 months ago:
It will be only rough measurement, you can just take FG in °Pt (Bx) and it is %of sugar so pretty easy to calculate it.
- Comment on Question about flip cap bottles on mastodon, do you have any suggestions where to get them? 2 months ago:
The OP on mastodon is looking only for retrofit non returnable wine bottles.
- Comment on Question about flip cap bottles on mastodon, do you have any suggestions where to get them? 2 months ago:
So these are for wine bottles, it is retrofit with the collar, it isn’t just the flip cap.

In Brno only Masaryk University has a Medical faculty but I don’t know which research they specialize in or what programs they have.
- Comment on Lemon wine and orange wine 2 months ago:
Come to Brno, it is lot more chill student city.
Also I can get you some of my beer/ciders/whatever I will have.
- Comment on Lemon wine and orange wine 2 months ago:
Yeah for cycling the weather is amazing, for camping outside not so much… Amazing views that change all the time, historical cities but darn I use my card too often, I hope that it will get better when I can stay outside.
Right now there are high winds and I just can’t sleep because it’s too loud.
- Comment on Lemon wine and orange wine 2 months ago:
It may be some time to get there, I have lot more interesting places for bikepacking looked up. Don’t get me wrong US is interesting but I am more pulled towards Asia, Taiwan may be the next big trip.
- Comment on Lemon wine and orange wine 2 months ago:
I am now going through Spain and it is orange season, you wouldn’t believe how much oranges accidentally fell in my bags…

- Comment on Beer with lemon, take 2 3 months ago:
The saaz hops aren’t fancy, the noble category of hops only says how it tastes- earthy aroma, with notes of spices.
As for its usage - it doesn’t have much bitterness so it is used for aroma on the 2nd or 3rd addition, that’s it.
- Comment on What are you brewing? 3 months ago:
14? That’s a long time. My ciders usually last max 1 year - I brew consumables so I don’t archive them (at least for now it was my moto)
- Comment on What are you brewing? 3 months ago:
It is the taste that counts!
There is one simple solution for hazy brews - don’t use glass mugs. But to be fair I completely get it. I usually don’t aim at clear brews because I know that it is finicky, enzymes, cold crash, long aging… it needs some technique and I usually don’t worry about that.

There are attachments for kitchen robots. We have one but it gets dull pretty fast.
- Comment on Why the sour face? 3 months ago:
According to some relatives my ciders are too dry and too sour. I always tell them that I like dry and sour ciders so why would I made them differently?
This may be the next level of sourness, I think that citric acid is pretty heat stable.

This guy goes deep in all of these methods, how to catch yeast, where to catch them, setting up home lab (if you are in to it), testing strains…

Yeah I know the days when anything that could go wrong goes wrong. In my case it is usually my attempts to correct my mistakes that makes it even worse. And I am still genuinely surprised that I made something good.
