2797.5 gal + 1.25 gal Ginger Summer Lager ----------- 2798.75 gal

The crux of the matter was the post about the list I made (see here) - I was indeed running out of colors. I do have now 15 different bottle caps (dark green just arrived, and counting 'silver' and 'chrome-ish' as two different ones) and I store actually 17 types of beers and ciders (the two...

Rosenborg Slot, København ?

Thank you for shattering my worlds of complicated thoughts to nothingness with a simple and yet effective idea. I came up so far with "designing one or even more rubber stamps, reactivating my print industry related contacts to get some screen-print inks from them and apply it to the bottle caps...

I made a list - a list of beers and ciders in my fridge and storage room. I usually had two to three, rerely four different types of beer in the fridge. The lid colors and color codes of the rubbers on the swing-top bottles were still manageable in my head. Since I also brew a lot of small...

Philippines?

I'd think more of Egypt ? ('Tenerife' is good enough, just search for 'lost place tenerife' and it's the first thing that pops up... and hitting the small island by recognizing the landscape is worth winning this round!)

This turned into a very interesting discussion! It took me a while until I realised, that BIAB existed (although it was kinda mentioned in the book I started homebrewing with), and from what I learned it's a clever way to rethink the brewing process and trying something differently. I also...

Not Texas. On Tenerife it is! I might count that... there's only one spot left... It's the Church of the leprosy station Sanatorio de Abona Very interesting lost place to discover.

Let's name this lost place:

Tihany Benedictine Abbey on Lake Balaton, Hungary (not many lakes left in that size)

Lake Constance? Since the Baltics have already been ruled out, I would guess it's at a lake. I would assume the architecture to be less fitting into the North Sea region. The Doppler shift to the red leads me to conclude that it is a sunset, so the lake must have a certain east-west extension...

Bottled my UBRK 'Homegrown Cascade' (5 2/3 ltr, black hop-hat caps) and 'Juicy Kolibri' (6 2/3 ltr, orange caps) Pale Ale today in 1/3 ltr bottles. Carbonated to 5.4g/l by adding 7.5g sugar per liter or 19.5ml as a 2:1 water-sugar syrup. Now a good week before they move to the fridge for...

2560 gal + 1.5 gal "homegrown Cascade" Pale Ale + 1.75 gal "Juicy Kolibri" Pale Ale ---------- 2563.25 gal

Again just a small step for beer I did, but an huge step for cider: bought a new outlet for my fermeter barrel. We pressed and juiced pears, but when transferring from the kettle to the barrel, we realised that the tap didn't quite fit into the thread and therefore couldn't be sealed. Warm...

My recently harvested hops dried during the weekend, and I put it in one of the new buckets. Almost half a kilo fresh from the vines, 70g after drying... and a full 5 ltr bucket of heavenly fragrence. After initially thinking about a Helles, I ended up brewing a pale ale with the fresh Cascade...

Today I bought some buckets, mostly for storage. Sometimes there are just small things to do... Most exciting part of the story: I drilled a hole in one of them and filed it to fit an outlet. Now I have an additional fermenter bucket.

Holy smoke! It seems like you had a bad time in Italy... I'm sorry to hear that. I can confirm from my perception, smoking tobacco is still very popular at our Italian "neighbours". I'm really not sure, looking for a beer is the best choice for a drink in Italy. But I'm sure there must be some...

I planted three hop seedlings this year in May (Fuggles, Tettnanger, Cascade). I didn't expect much from it in the first year... The Tettnanger barely made it a metre above the ground, the Fuggles looked well grown and reached almost 3 metres. After four days of catastrophic continuous rain...
