Mix of herbs for the 20l of #cider It will be interesting, hopefully it won't get too bitter from some kind of wormwood, it smells really nice like cola but it's quite bitter. Mint and rosemary to balance it and I am looking for the bottling to taste it. It will need to age a bit, 6 months is probably the shortest aging for cider but I am bit impatient and don't know how much bottles will survive my thirst ;-)#homebrewing @homebrewing

@homebrewing do you have some ideas what I can do with some hops?It is bit older, probably not too bitter but still nice aroma. Only thing I know it is T90 Sládek from 2017.

    @homebrewing this months photo is from tour of local brewery I was on last week. It is the bottom of the primary fermentation tanks - cylindrical-conical tanks. They are 8m in diameter and 26m high. If I recall correctly they can take about 4 batches which is what they brew per day (in 24 hours, in season they brew 24/7 5days per week).From outside they look like this:

    What are you brewing?How did your special beers for Easter turned up? Do you have something ready to drink or are you waiting for it to be ready? Let's share what is fermenting, some good tasting #beer you made, something that didn't end up how you liked, happy little accidents that ended up well... Just everything homebrewing, #wine making, #cider , #mead ...After last month post when I tried to post it through Mastodon, I would like to remind everyone here to leave the @homebrewing in the replie so everyone can see it on Lemmy.#beer

    @Anibyl @mariusor @bicycle_touring @number6 @schmaker Just to clarify for all of you. Recumbent bike balance only in some speed, for me it is ~6 kph. So on normal bike I can spin my legs go slowly, still balance and gradually push through the hill. But on this I have to keep some tempo even uphill and can't help myself by standing up.

    I have few thoughts about bikepacking on recumbent bike.Because of the weight distribution I don't see any difference in the ridability and handling. The issue with flexing bike when loaded with bags isn't noticeable when riding only when you need to push it. But the hills are killing me it isn't ideal without the bags but with them it is brutal.#bikepacking #biketouring #bikeTooter #regel17 @bicycle_touring

    During this week I got to know this quite odd brewery at my university - the picture above. It has lot of weird quirks because it is just ~150l setup with same technology as 1000l+ setup. It sometimes doesn't make much sense but you can brew pretty much anything in it.Yeah I will probably be down there quite a lot during my studies ;-)@homebrewing

    @ascentale @homebrewing my cider usually don't have time to age - I drink it too quickly. Maybe it will get better with age I am usually quite surprised when I find some forgotten 1+ year bottle.

    What are you brewing?Easter is in few weeks maybe you have some special beer prepared or just your normal #homebrewing experiments. Let's share what is fermenting, some good tasting #beer you made, something that didn't end up how you liked, happy little accidents that ended up well... Just everything homebrewing, #wine making, #cider , #mead ...I used to make these posts once per month but didn't make them for about a year, let me know if I should start again with them. @homebrewing

     

    So this year Christmas celebration was pleasantly interrupted by #bikepacker from Japan.I was half watching new fairy tale from our national TV (which wasn't that good they didn't managed to make good one in some time) and got warmshowers notification.I didn't told him much but when he just got in the middle of our family gathering he was bit surprised. I think it is the highlight of this year's Christmas for me and my family too.#bikepacking #biketouring #biketooter @bicycle_touring

     

    After like 3 years I was again brewing beer just for fun and not 2000l batch as my job or trying something on this small scale for my job (because I had a time and got the ingredients for free).It is really experimental brew. I put 3,5l of grape juice (I think it is Veltlín variety) and will add some cherries there too. So let's see how it will end up.#homebrewing @homebrewing

    @AndiPopp @homebrewing I know, few months ago I was in Belgium and visited brewery that makes lambics. Tbh I really don't like this style I was thinking about some dubbel or some different strong style.
