It was built 100 yers after lager brewing proces and ~500 years after hops usage. 200 years ago or so the brewing process became more industrialized, this brewery was modernized multiple times and was in use until 1977.

In about 200 years it basically didn’t changed. But these really old technologies and history is interesting too, you just refer to something at least 100 years off of what I refer to in my post.

I hope that I will visit National museum of brewing technology this fall, they have loads of instruments, machinery and stuff from 19th and early 20th century when they really experimented with the process. In my opinion it is most interesting part of industrial brewing history.

It may be bad storage on distribution site or something you can’t affect. You just can’t recognize it if you don’t do it every day, even in industrial setting you can notice it after few days so don’t think about it that much. You probably got bad batch of yeasts, it happens, I do the same thing and usually it is ok.

The dropping out of beer characteristics of yeasts is attribute after they die so you could get less vital batch or something it doesn’t say much.

For storing in fridge it is usually enough at about 5°C the yeasts settle down and you don’t need filtration or pasteurization for getting clean long lasting beer (when you store it correctly).

So tldr of your issue is probably combination of bad measurements and bad batch of yeasts, shit happens, and good luck on next try - you probably didn’t do anything wrong.

Congrats you made drinkable beer. At least it wasn’t complete loss.

Bad yeasts is pretty easy issue to solve so good luck on your next brews.

It is standard on these regional trains here. When the weather is nice loads of people use it.

Busses don’t like bikes here, but it usually isn’t problem because we have dense rail network and you can ride about 5km to nearest station.

I took the photo few stops before end station, there was another bike and lot more people but for 10 minutes I had the section for myself.

Also I planed for less busy time.

With my muscles and it isn’t locked, you put front wheel on hook and rear wheel in the rack. It is secure only when you have the sweet spot of tire size- MTB doesn’t fit and road bike moves too much. But I never had issues with this system.

I mean like bigger cassette, larger tires, changes in cockpit, suspension stem and seat post…

Mainly to make it more comfortable on longer rides and remedy some bad choices when I built it.

And yes hy/rd breaks are on the list.

And I thought that linking map of brewerys in my country to my last post was unnecessary. If you will tour Czech Republic you will know where to go.

Thanks. It is “work in progress” as almost all touring/universal bikes are.

Basically it is semi custom built - I got omnium cxc v3 frameset and completed it with Shimano parts. Now after about 5500km I have a whole list of things to upgrade.

After I saw my friend, who rode there on road bike about 100km, I knew it was good call to scratch the route.

I stopped at the pub for some radler and ice cream and when I stepped outside ice cream melted and I had warm radler. So yeah it was due to weather.

It is so interesting to me the uses of “leftovers” or byproducts of brewing.

From our brewery ve give the yeasts away to somebody who makes cosmetic products from them (but not too often usually it ends up dumped in sewer). And used up malt ends up as animal feed loads of people want it for chickens, sheeps, goats, cows you name it.

I consume these byproducts when they go though some animal :-)

Sometimes we get some chicken (3,5 kg or so large from small farm not the 1kg ones), and few months ago I got whole lamb.

Now I want some ice cream shaped like Bezos or Musk or Zuckerberg. I just want to lick their face.

Week ago I listened to a podcast about history of misinformation and censorship in first republic Czechoslovakia.

And tldr of it is that we didn’t learn anything - they wanted to regulate sale of newspapers and everyone listened radio.

I think there is big parallel the discussion about censorship was same, and when it was implemented it wasn’t effective. Be it Russian propaganda or some other affairs.

It is more sterile and intentional proces. But yeah at the end you end up with petri dish or tube with little dots that make beer/wine/kombucha or something else.

More like really niche “sub-hobby” of homebrewing.

Growing/propagating your own yeasts. I did it about year ago and didn’t have a time to get in to it again.

Nice asses.

My friend used to ride some race with horses (around 250km) and wild west style wagon. She said it was brutal - vibrations, taking care of horses…

BTW I can’t see your posts and comments just in few community’s, don’t know what’s wrong.

Sorry for not writing sooner my instance is on and off for few days now and federation with world is meh (don’t know on what side).

Routing/maps

• how the signs for hikers and cyclists looks like - https://kct.cz/system-turistickeho-znaceni
• we have pretty large OSM community so any OSM client (except OrganicMaps) is good option but there are few developed here. Like https://www.locusmap.app ; osmapp.org ; freemap.sk
• non Foss options - mapy.cz and https://www.cykloserver.cz/cykloatlas

Camping/bivouacing

Camping outside is generally allowed with right etiquette (leave no trace, don’t make fire where and when it is not allowed, be out of sight …). I would suggest to bivouac only, if it is possible. But still there are few nono’s:

• National parks and other protected areas. It may be possible with designated camping spots but every park has different rules so check it out before you go there.
• Military training areas- you can ride through them on designated roads but you can’t stay there. Even the recently opened to public (military didn’t needed it) have only opened roads and few places - the demining operations will take some time.

Resupply, pubs, restaurants

• in vilages shops are closed on Sundays and on Saturdays they are usually open till 11
• In restaurants they have few different types of food offerings - lunch menu (pre-made meals offered from 11:00 to 14:00) you can get it in few minutes, “minutka” (pre-made and cooled/freezed meals) it will usually take less than 30 minutes to get it and other meals they may take up to 1 hour to make.
• I am beer guy so here is map of Czech brewerys: https://ceskepivo-ceskezlato.cz/mapa-pivovaru/

Trains

There isn’t usually any problem with bringing bike there, for some trains you have to book it in advance.

• if you can’t buy the ticket at the station, you can buy it in train. It is possible to pay by card but have some money at hand (the terminals are old and sometimes unreliable)
• you can check connections here: https://t.idos.idnes.cz/vlakyautobusymhdvse/spojeni/

Yeah they have also registered page404.cz

I love the low tech cycling subculture at yt - bikepackers, mechanics, tinkerers…

Like Path less pedaled and BikeFarmer.

They show how the bikes should be simple, mechanical machines that are bombproof and easy to repair not some high tech racing monsters.
