I am glad that you like it. It would be nice to have little more traffic but post quality is more important so I can't complain.
Rabies are eradicate here, but still controlled some neighboring states still have few cases here and there.

It averages about 1 post per week but it certainly isn't dead.
In my experience the drip on wax is enough. I put new chain in acetone, then alcohol (each bath about a day), just in mason jar nothing fancy.
After installation I apply drip on wax, which lasts about 100-150 km (it is based on really soft paraffin so doesn't last long).
Here they have only lices, nothing much to worry about.

It was built 100 yers after lager brewing proces and ~500 years after hops usage. 200 years ago or so the brewing process became more industrialized, this brewery was modernized multiple times and was in use until 1977.
In about 200 years it basically didn't changed. But these really old technologies and history is interesting too, you just refer to something at least 100 years off of what I refer to in my post.
I hope that I will visit National museum of brewing technology this fall, they have loads of instruments, machinery and stuff from 19th and early 20th century when they really experimented with the process. In my opinion it is most interesting part of industrial brewing history.
So I recently visited brewery with 100yo technology and what struck me most was how little has changed.
Now you basically have only differences in driving the brewery - electromotors instead of steam engines and transmissions.
Basic technology like 2 tanks - one for boiling and mashing, other for sparge and leaving decoction parts (with perforated bottom) - is same to this day.
Other thing that's different is cooling, you now have coolers for quickly cooling wort and cooled tanks. Instead of shallow baths where the wort is pooled to cool and putting ice to cellars.
So did you checked some historical brewerys with copper tanks and stuff like this? Did it make you change or adjust your brewing setup? Did you learn anything?
It may be bad storage on distribution site or something you can't affect. You just can't recognize it if you don't do it every day, even in industrial setting you can notice it after few days so don't think about it that much. You probably got bad batch of yeasts, it happens, I do the same thing and usually it is ok.
The dropping out of beer characteristics of yeasts is attribute after they die so you could get less vital batch or something it doesn't say much.
For storing in fridge it is usually enough at about 5°C the yeasts settle down and you don't need filtration or pasteurization for getting clean long lasting beer (when you store it correctly).
So tldr of your issue is probably combination of bad measurements and bad batch of yeasts, shit happens, and good luck on next try - you probably didn't do anything wrong.
Congrats you made drinkable beer. At least it wasn't complete loss.
Bad yeasts is pretty easy issue to solve so good luck on your next brews.
It is so interesting to me the uses of "leftovers" or byproducts of brewing.
From our brewery ve give the yeasts away to somebody who makes cosmetic products from them (but not too often usually it ends up dumped in sewer). And used up malt ends up as animal feed loads of people want it for chickens, sheeps, goats, cows you name it.
I consume these byproducts when they go though some animal :-)
Sometimes we get some chicken (3,5 kg or so large from small farm not the 1kg ones), and few months ago I got whole lamb.
Week ago I listened to a podcast about history of misinformation and censorship in first republic Czechoslovakia.
And tldr of it is that we didn't learn anything - they wanted to regulate sale of newspapers and everyone listened radio.
I think there is big parallel the discussion about censorship was same, and when it was implemented it wasn't effective. Be it Russian propaganda or some other affairs.
It is more sterile and intentional proces. But yeah at the end you end up with petri dish or tube with little dots that make beer/wine/kombucha or something else.
More like really niche "sub-hobby" of homebrewing.
Growing/propagating your own yeasts. I did it about year ago and didn't have a time to get in to it again.

Nice asses.
My friend used to ride some race with horses (around 250km) and wild west style wagon. She said it was brutal - vibrations, taking care of horses...
BTW I can't see your posts and comments just in few community's, don't know what's wrong.
I love the low tech cycling subculture at yt - bikepackers, mechanics, tinkerers...
Like Path less pedaled and BikeFarmer.
They show how the bikes should be simple, mechanical machines that are bombproof and easy to repair not some high tech racing monsters.

I don't have bolt but basic Sigma computer and it is possible so I would think that it is possible with more features rich device.

And I looked at what I can add to have free shipping. After I told my mum that they have unicycles she told me: "It will be f-ing awesome, buy it."
So as responsible, grown up man I am now owner of unicycle.

I think this may fit here, some of these setups are pretty sick.
On overnighter this weekend I checked out another one. This one is more standard, but still it is basically standard one split and with road in between the halves.

I managed to find some file sharing service (my instance probably didn't support pictures) so I post here some detailed pics of this bunker.

Which are you using?
For most things (day trips, few km after work...) I use multiple of them.
Mapy.cz
- online and offline mobile app
- trip planner works pretty well
- you can check out places (photos, reviews...) when online
- well maped whole Europe
- not enough information about roads (asphalt, paved, gravel...)
- basically interactive version of KČT maps
Cykloserver.cz
- can't find app
- basic planner, but better for drawing your route
- much more helpful info about roads
- it is just automatically scaled paper map, so you have to know how to read it
Osm clients - I tried multiple of them.
Paper maps - from the same company that makes the Cycloserver maps. You can get set of them for about 100€ (CZ not sure about SK). There is just something special about planning trip on paper maps.

Crosspost. I got good recommendations on another community and I am interested in your picks.

So I plan few trips for next season. First one in last week of July - get to Vienna, around Danube to Linz and then back to CZ to small town Slavonice. (About 600km I plan it for 7-9 days) Second to Hamburg - the farthest city with direct train back home. (About 900 km I think it will take me about ...
So I plan few trips for next season.
First one in last week of July - get to Vienna, around Danube to Linz and then back to CZ to small town Slavonice. (About 600km I plan it for 7-9 days)
Second to Hamburg - the farthest city with direct train back home. (About 900 km I think it will take me about 14 days)
Few shorter trips and 10km every day to work...
My brother said now something like "C'mon next year you will have 5000 km on bike"
So I comute by bike and this week I ride through fast changing snow condition. It got from completly covered cycle route, to badly cleaned roads, to mushy brown sludge, and today there were loads of frozen bits of snow and ice patches.
I managed to fell only twice - inertia is your best friend and worse enemy at the same time. And I hope that these conditions will be over soon. Most annoying part is that I dont know what to expect and how to prepare because conditions vary from day to day.
What is on your wishlist this year? I have loads of camping stuff but started biketouring recently so big thing for me are bags and few stuff to complete my bike (bottlecages).
I am looking for some other things to complete my list (so other family members can give me something).
So my friend has some vineyards and this is the part of the year.
We picked about 600 l of white grapes, 100l of red and about 50l of some sweeter white variety. He will have another group to pick the rest of it (about the same amount).
If you think that this is too much for homebrewing, it isn't. There is legal to make up to 2000l of it per year and lots of people make it to that limit.
If someone have good pick sharing site I can link few images I managed to take.
Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.
Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.
So this morning at 5 am when I was leaving to work I had this conversation with my dad:
D:"So when will you drink the KEG? I need it empty."
Me:"But it is your beer"
D: " ... "
Me: " Nevermind, bye "
So week ago I and my friends brew beer, had BBQ and ecologicaly liquidated my beer/cider stockpile.
Let's just say that all of us has some murky memory of it.
I just know that everything got according to plan and the beer is good.
So do you drink when you are brewing?
So I played with natural yeasts and cultivation. Had few strains isolated and kept in fridge. But recently one extremely resistant strain contaminated all of it.
Had some good brews, some bad, some meh. So what is yours experience, did you tryed it or want to?
