Thanks, much better than trying to piece it together from video!

I wanted to make it again but didn't got to it, I think I wanted to cut the sugar a bit it was too sweet for me. Also I wanted to try some different beers to see how it impacts the taste.

I tried making butter beer, which is real thing that was sometimes made, but it probably isn't what you think.

It is more of hot wine style drink. I think someone made yt video that I used as instructions. Yes it is less alcoholic because you heat the beer (which is the base of the drink) and mix in sugar, butter and some other stuff I don't remember.

I think that it was quite good and could be made in 20min, really good for the colder evenings. I would suggest some neutral tasting beer as a base, I used some store bought lager if I remember correctly - most of the taste is from the other stuff there.

What about some spreadsheet where everyone can add time/date and game that he wants to play.

Than everyone can see the options and vote/add themselves to the event he wants to go. Than you can send group emails with information and calendar event file.

I think that something like this can be put together with nextcloud and email bot.

Non lethal munitions/weapons are not so non lethal as people think.

Crowd control or demonstration control is another complex problem that can't be solved by some magic bullet. It is more psychology game when the police tries to look threatening in place where people can easily overpower them.

Much better than what I managed to do when I was 15yo. I still use the A5 notebook with replaceable pages.

Yes, it is just lots of different kind of fruit thrown in 80% ethanol.

It is fun to do it on small scale, like one jar is enough, you will probably need to process it differently on that scale.

Here most people with that amount of trees just distill it to make "slivovice" but I heard that people try different things.

Depends on a kit, the malt sirup is shelf stable but hops and yeast is definitely bad. Just try something, follow the instructions for start and you will see if you like it.

I don't know much about plums other than distillat so can't suggest much on that.

I know, it is really handy for checking OG then it gets skewed by alcohol. For bottling I use my hydrometer to be sure, I just don't want bombs.

When you measure often you can correct it, but for me it isn't worth it.

This brew is only about the fruit. The beer is just simple decoction with Pilsen and Münich malts (~50/50) and just SAAZ hops, I call it leftover ALE just what was left from other brews. After I added the juice it got to 1045 OG so it isn't even that strong.

It is bit strange right now for me because I got new hydrometer that is calibrated to density, but until now I mainly used °Bx/°P units and even got portable refractometer with both units so something I measured in one and some with other... The juice was ~15°Bx

Edit: I mean infusion not decoction

That our country will be a shitshow for some time and is heading towards early elections probably next year.

Just sum it up he is convicted of embezzlement of EU funds. So he needed to stay in politics so he doesn't end up in jail. That is true for other party SPD which is bunch of naci nutheads.

So he needs support from 2 other parties to get majority and because both of them know how desperate he is they want something (ministry seat...). Unfortunately they are completely incompatible with each other so it will be fun.

The president said that he won't accept any minister that wants to exit NATO or EU.

The way we are heading is the Slovakia or Hungary route unfortunately. But these elections have silver lining - we got rid of Communist party (hopefully) and the pro democratic block is still quite strong (they lost mandates but not votes because of how is it counter and distributed).

So it's not black and white or complete disaster for EU and our country (which has still strong democracy for now).

I towed with 2 other people bike trailer up to 2500m mountain pass few months ago. Basically the reverse of your carry shit Olympics.

So 3 trailers on flat is quite impressive achievement.

I was thinking a bit about the issue with the enzyme activity - it is a problem with rye malts. But with 85% of pils malt it just isn't an issue.

I think that with rye ~50% is the ratio that is possible to achieve quite easy.

So you just throw some berries in to secondary?

I will finally make my cherry beer next week (had a issue with strong ale so I didn't had free fermenter), so I am interested in the use of berries.

My plan is to put some in primary and then put few in each bottle, because I don't have the setup to bottle from keg.

Here's the post.

Last week this happened!

I didn't remember writing the post, nothing offensive I was just asking about good boardgames to play drunk. It was bit surprising seeing the notifications.

WD 40 is quite good as a degreeser you can try to dilute it, other quite good chemical to try is ethanol or methanol (whatever is easiest to buy). Didn't tried anything bike specific but some kind of kitchen degreaser worked well too but it is usually some nasty mix with NaOH mixed in it (gloves needed).

Even in some EU countries it's not required.

At least in my country (CZ) there are more types of companies some have to disclose earnings, yearly economic outcomes... and some don't have to do it. Even there it is different on how much it is disclosed publicly or only to "shareholders" (owners usually) and how detailed it is.

It's already under different name in my country. You will find pretty much the same bike with Van Risel name. So don't worry they just renamed it.

Also you can maybe order the bike and get it after they stock it (I think decathlon offers it)

I would maybe suggest the Microshift Sword version of this bike you can then get better range (2x10). As of the quality and price it is really solid choice.

With sword you can mix MTB rear derailleur with it so quite nice part cross compatibility.
