I will have to bottle 70l of cider this week. Fortunately my boss let me use bottling station at brewery so it will take only 45min.

It is the same as dry hopping in beer. So in primary fermentation for ~week. If you let it for too long it gets grass tones (like bad grass taste).

This one had too much hops (~10g/l) for next time I will add 1-5g/l. As for what variety to choose go for some aromatic hops for dry hopping (it is usually specified in shops/e-shops), I used Summit.

Hmm that's a lot of things. What to say Good luck or "Dej bůh štěstí" (Czech brewmasters saying).

I did some wild ferments few years ago. The main criteria is if it smells and tastes good.

• lactic smell and taste (like yogurt or cheese) is fine but for some too acidic

• alcohol don't smell that strong, it is usually just a hint

• fruity and funky notes are good

• vinegar smell is bad, it means you made vinegar

• bad smell and taste like bitter, chemicals or rotting this can be dangerous, but it's disgusting so you don't drink it

• ...

Try it and you will see.

I always make cider from apples I can get my hands on so not specific in that way. But I recently shared here this blog post and it has everything you need to start brewing.

Juicing is the biggest problem so if you sort this out you can start experimenting with it. I will finalize some recipe for it next year.

I was horrified after my crash- everything was crooked, spun and in places where it shouldn't be.

When I told it to my friend he just told me that if it would stay in place I would have to replace most of the parts.

I had heavy bags on (last day of trip) and bent my rack, so yeah I think he's right.

Picture is my test cider with hops. My boss said that if I told him it is some kind of beer he would believe me. He really liked it.

Some advice for next time:

The leavers can't be tighten too much to the handlebar. In case of crash it will just twist and don't break. It happened to me few months ago and only damage was on the hoods (the rubber condoms on top tear).

Of course it was dumb question lol

Did anyone make some headcount? Like nice graphics when and how many people died, in TOS dead are in nearly every episode.

My reply to you doesn't appear for me on Lemmy (this is posted from my mastodon account).

So here it is for the others:

It is much better resource than what I wrote on Lemmy year ago. He also writes about what you can add. In my case I make cider from whatever apples I can get my hands on.

Because selective breading is technically a form of genetic engineering/modification. I think it's fine and we do it for thousands of years.

New methods make it easier, faster and gives more options what to do (modified proteins...).
