Orange on the left, lemon on the right. Lemon looks darker since I did an oopsie with the water level and had to boil for a while. Orange wine is at an fg of 1.006 and tastes very sweet, don’t even have to back sweeten it. It tastes different but I like it! 18% abv. Lemon wine has a very bitter back end. I’ll be screwing around with back sweetening it to see how it is. The lemon wine ended at 1.032 or 10% abv. Girlfriend likes both so I’m not sure which I’ll be turning into brandy but either way, citrus test was a success!

It may be some time to get there, I have lot more interesting places for bikepacking looked up. Don't get me wrong US is interesting but I am more pulled towards Asia, Taiwan may be the next big trip.

Ooh that’ll be fun! And I completely get it. I’m a Polish citizen who hasn’t been back to the home country in ages, I definitely want to go back and also check out Prague while I’m there (sounds much more interesting than the US for the next few years). Sadly we don’t get much time off here

I’d love to! Do you guys happen to have any good cancer sciences PhD/doctoral programs? I’ve talked about moving to Ireland if my girlfriend loses her PhD program and I lose my job due to the politics, hardest part would be getting all our stuff over seas, and our 4 legged furry friend over lol

In Brno only Masaryk University has a Medical faculty but I don't know which research they specialize in or what programs they have.
