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 ;-)
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
I am thinking about brewing some Belgian #beer for Christmas and have frozen cherries and cherries in rum.
Do anyone here from the #homebrewing fedi bubble have any good recipe or suggestions how to use it?
The last 2 days in #Spain were mixed, I rode from El Rocío which has this wild west feel to it but I foolishly decided to rode through it on bike. It was bad idea all roads are this fine sand and lots of potholes, probably good for the horses but nearly unrideable on my bike.
From there I got on the coastal route, that was nice separated or with little to no car traffic. That quickly changed before Huelva where the EV route goes through oil refinery and then suddenly change to highway with pretty nasty intersection.
After Huelva the few km I had to camp was really nice on bike line along the highway.

I opened first two bottles of my #cider the test batches with hops and spices.
The one with hops needs another month in bottles - it smells amazing but it still has too much bitterness. I don't know why it is noticeably darker and why it makes foam like beer.
The one with spices tastes too much like Christmas (I just don't know how to describe it better). So it is good but not exactly the season for it. I can imagine it will be good with some Christmas cookies or something like that.
I like more the Christmas one (because it is ready to drink now), my boss on the other hand likes more the hopped one. (Yes I drink at work)
I am excited for the batch with oak chips and the basic cider, which I will probably taste next week.
I will probably make another 1-2 batches of #cider . I would like some other suggestions what to add.
I was thinking about some herbs and wood chips. Is there anything else I could try?
So it begins, this year about month earlier. Tomorrow I will get it juiced and expect ~100 l of juice. It was little bit unexpected to do it today but somehow I managed to do it, in 4 weeks I should have something finished if I won't drink it partially fermented.
Tak jsem si trochu hrál s federací různých služeb v #feddiverse , konkrétně s #lemmy (takový reddit). Takže jste si asi všimli že občas boostuju divně vypadající příspěvky.
Z mastodonu můžete sledovat jednotlivé účty i celé komunity, obojí se tváří jako normální uživatel mastodonu.
Pokud chcete aby se váš příspěvek objevil v lemmy tak stačí dát dolů tag této komunity ideálně celý i s doménou ( @test ).
Nejhorší co se může stát tak vám odpoví admin komunity že si tam příspěvky z mastodonu nepřeje. Myslete na to že tam není integrovaný žádný překladač a většina je v angličtině.
