When I see how some of our politicians can run away from justice, it isn't that weird.

But our justice system is truly independent from the political one.

 

For me it is the concept of registering to vote. I am citizen so I have the right to vote automatically and only thing I need to provide is some accepted ID.

If you really need/want to, use foreign coverage of it. Maybe BBC or other English world wide news will have something (DW, 24France).

You will get mostly unbiased info and it is usually more chill than the heated debates. I use this sometimes but for my country it doesn't cover much news.

I will be unemployed tomorrow. I don't have plan for anything specific, I will probably just take my bike, put panniers on and explore Europe for some time.

I am fortunate enough that I have saved enough money for few years of this. But still I will apply to some university to finish some degree to look important (I don't understand the fixation of most people to these letters before names).

What I mean by this is simply that you probably need to do something. It doesn't have to be something that your family approves (my mom isn't thrilled by what I want to do). Maybe move, try to find job elsewhere...

For few years now I want to try eating pigeon so this answer might be useful for me.

It is still in use. I had to revisit this video where you can see it. (It has eng subtitles)

The wood chips have lots of surface area, when I soaked them in to cherry distillate for few days (to disinfect them before pitching), it made noticeable difference.

For beer and wine few weeks is enough with them. They are cheap, you can get different grades (toasted...) and some brews are quick.

I don't mind, when I did my cider (~month ago) I made lots of posts too.

BTW did you try aging on wood chips? My cider came out amazing, it still needs some time in bottles but even now it is drinkable.

I wonder if something can be done using cocoa or chocolate. I would call it "kilo of shit + kilo of sugar"

Last time I tried to use different kinds of yeasts that I can get from local wine making shop.

Now I mostly use some strain for aromatic wines. These in my opinion gives most the fruity flavors. Also the strain for fruit wines had good flavor.

Wine strains like to ferment cider dry, if you want sweeter cider ALE strains are better.

I brew 1000l of it so whole day cleaning filters, clogged pipes and other stuff that usually take few hours. Still better than one time blackout stopped the brewery. Unboiled mash and starches are hard to clean lol.

 

Monthly discussion thread about brewing.

Share whatever - success brews, failures, questions...

Fruit season is in full swing, so give the people who don't know what to do with too much fruits some ideas ;-)

 

Short writeup on homemade cider. It is easier than it looks.

 

I heard from my boss that on Czech FB brewing group was discussion about US-05 from Fermentis.

Someone had issues with them, even commercial brewerys. We had to throw out 2 batches of IPA so it was probably because of that - same flaw both times.

So it got me thinking if it is only local issue or if it is more wide spread.

 

I didn't watched it yet but it is always fun.
