I tried using Beertarget, it looks promising but because it is open source and changed maintainers it is nearly impossible to find some guides so I don’t know his to do some important stuff (but it looks great).

Tbh I just eyeball it and only hops are calculated with some ancient excel sheat.

I don’t know anyone that has it that strict.

On shift work it is standard to get 6:00 - 14:00, 14:00 - 22:00 and 22:00 - 6:00. And most people I know that have office work usually have some flexible arrangement like you have to work 8h and have to be here for meetings 9:00 - 13:00, so some people arrive at 9 and leave at 5 or you can arrive at 6 and leave at 2…

Other jobs like teachers, doctors… have just completely different schedules each day.

Yes it can be split somehow, but if you have to do lot of samples it can get quite long even at home.

I stored few strains of yeasts in fridge and when I had to reinoculate them on fresh plates to keep them alive for bit longer, I had work for few hours bit time sensitively split across 2 weeks.

Have a good time playing with that ;-)

Microbiology is fun but bit too time consuming, I like it but it’s not for everyone.

Btw if you want to make your own agar plates I have good results with classic agar with wort, it has to be ~8°Bx and don’t need any more nutrients added. I still have some left in jars that got through pressure cooker.

I am really interested how this will turn out! Let us know because I want to try it too maybe in few months if I will have a time and somebody to drink it with me afterwards.

Yes I watched it too but his version is made to just look like it, this one is whats your fantasy suggest is in it.

I like them both but for different reasons.

I also want to know this.

WordPress (and other solutions) is quite heavy for my needs and Squarespace seems like too much vendor lock in.

Other “website building” solutions like Hugo require too much knowledge in HTML which I would like to not touch at all.

Look in to SQlabs saddles. I did 10 000km bikepacking on one and it was great. The one I picked wasn’t especially nice looking but you can buy nicer looking ones.

It isn’t for everyone, some people can’t stand it and it takes some time to get used to it. So maybe it will be good option for you.

I’m testing Brooks leather saddle right now and it is ok too (I bought it mostly for better durability than the SQlabs foam) but it needs to be broken in to a bit and isn’t nice from the start (also the price is quite steep).

Now that I looked in to it I want to make some for myself.

I can probably get 200 of these for 50€ including the shipping. So maybe I will do it.

Something like this: https://vyrobapro.cz/ came up with short search.

For novelty item the suggestions like ceramic ones or wood ones laser cut are better option and multiple people make these.

But if you want the paper ones and actually want to use them the higher quantity isn’t that bad idea - they get wet all the time and tears apart, on the bar they last only few days. So ordering like 200 isn’t so large quantity when you think about it.

I would ask in some craft brewery where they order them, usually it is some local smaller print shop which makes all kinds of promotional stuff - labels, fliers…

At the brewery where I worked the guy from the print shop did the unified design for all the labels and other promotional stuff.

It only looks good an a plate and what I remember smaller critters were better. If you don’t try it you won’t loose that much.

Just so you know they are edible when you feed them correctly. Not so good as other edible insects (too much chitin shell) but quite ok. I had it once more than 10 years ago so don’t remember that much about it anymore.

So just a tip for the eventuality of overbreading.

This 100% is the problem with bad policy.

Maybe it will get at least bit more possible after the new railway EU legislation passes this year but I am not that hopeful because they are just bunch of idiots flying business jets and don’t understand the problems there.

Tbh it is big lobby by national railway companies like SNCF that slow the prgress way down, they should really pull out their heads from their asses and recognise that cross European travel isn’t that much competition.

That’s a bummer. Hopefully you will be able to pick some hobbies sooner than later even if it isn’t homebrewing. I just think that we are wired to do some things just for fun however small they are otherwise we get bit insane.

I will have to try something like this. In the last few months I saw multiple posts about using chilly peppers for brewing so maybe putting it in beer will be interesting. I will probably test it first in small batches/only few bottles.

Just an idea: do the infusion in some strong neutral alcohol (vodka or food grade 80% alcohol) and add it afterwards to your liking.

I don’t have experience with using chilly peppers but someone asked about it few months or so ago so maybe you can look there if they get some more advice.

As I have more time I will try to get this place bit more active. For now it averages around post per week and if you have some questions you get answers pretty quickly.

My kind of brewing is bit different. Usually I brew lagers under 6% ABV. Tbh I was now looking at the fermzila fermenter and decided that for my use it isn’t probably worth it but will upgrade different stuff.

Winemakers use flocculants and other means to bind that kind of impurities. Look in to it - bentonite clay comes to my mind right now.

You want to make the filtering step as easy as possible so use this, let it sit, decant only the clear liquid from top and than use filter on it.
