- 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.

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.

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.

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? 2 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.

If you are really tempted to try it give a watch to these two playlists.

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.
- Comment on What are you brewing? 4 months ago:
In our case it is issue of quantity, we have 40l batches and it is too much for one person to pull the bag/manipulate with pots.
We have false bottom pot on lift and it isn’t ideal but still much better than BIAB. It needs some work/ new pot for heating (we got the induction heater for free) and because the bottom valve is bad.
After trying/helping some friends with their systems I think that our setup is maybe the best you can have.

When it’s apple season, loads of people reach me and my friend if we want some. This year we had to stop taking new apples because we didn’t had the capacity to process them all.
Now I have about 40l of archive worthy cider (some was consumed/given away already).
I tried to use wood chips and it turned out amazing.
- Comment on What are you brewing? 4 months ago:
I will start.
Last month I helped my dad with converting his settup to BIAB. It didn’t go too well, he thought it would be simpler and less work. Tldr it is simpler but it requires more work. So he will probably stay on current settup. We have to upgrade the pots for induction (it is needed after 15 years some valves are falling apart).

Lol, mainly documentation and cad work. Dealing with architects if it is for trams or trolleybus lines, politicians and bureaucrats that makes the public orders and stuff like that.

My brother started working for company that makes these things and now he points every little detail on them.
“Look at this insulator” “Look these anchor points are made at factory I visited last week” …

If you do it right, you don’t need to use those. In my experience straining it through something like this bag (I use bag for dry hopping or diaper) is enough. You just have to let it drain slowly to not disturb the “hop cake”.
