Yeah I know, I read cross border rail blog from Jon Worth.

My international trips with bike were in Slovakia, Austria and Czech Republic at least somewhere it isn't a problem.

Problem is ticketing, trying to find best deals or at least connections because loads of the companies refuse to communicate between themselves.

I looked in to it and most probably I will take train to Spain, ride there for few weeks, take ferry to canaries then decide what to do next (-;

I don't know yet. I will plan it for January.

I considere for now south Spain and Morocco. Then as the weather gets warmer return by bike home or ride somewhere else (depends on situation).

I don't know jet how to get there, I would love to take train. If I want to just take bike and ride I would have to do it now (to get there before bad weather).

I brew 1000l of it so whole day cleaning filters, clogged pipes and other stuff that usually take few hours. Still better than one time blackout stopped the brewery. Unboiled mash and starches are hard to clean lol.

I am too conservative for this but I really like your prisonhooch experiments.

I don't know if you brew pumpkin beer before but it can get really messy. I had to get in to tank and shovel out pumpkin residue last year.

Thanks, good site.

Do someone know where to go bikepacking/touring in winter? Preferably in EU.

So I probably won't have anything better to do in winter (job,...), I was thinking about doing some longer trip. Something like F it I will just take my bike and ride.

Do anyone have some recommendations where to go?

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.

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.
