I started with it because I couldn’t get anything decent from store. Now I can get some really good cider from small makers.
For most people it is love/hate, it is really simple and completely dry, it isn’t for everyone. I really like it and now we started to experiment with it more so maybe more interesting brews are coming (I hope that I will make at least one more batch this year).
Take it then through central Europe. CZ and SK take some routing skills but it is really nice to bike here, don’t worry about Austria the bike infrastructure is top quality. Hungary is good too but it is really boring (too flat). Don’t trust that Romania and Bulgaria are backwards in this regard, it is doable (I would say it is bit worse than CZ and SK).
I wasn’t in all countries I mentioned some of it is from friends who were there. Maybe mention it in bikepacking/touring community (it is on lemmy.world so you will need another account) someone will give you more hands on advice.
What’s your plan? Route, expected timeline, countries you will visit, what you would like to see…
Finally after 2 years making cider. Last year there wasn’t any apples left on trees (I don’t know if they froze or what happened, it was bad year). So it is bit hectic, runs between home, “juicery”, brew shop and my friend home where it stays. I was bit worried my reserves started to run dry and I have 1 archive bottle left. Trying adding hops and spices, more info here.
I live in wine making region, so there are loads of these. Usually with house attached to it for wine making equipment.
When I want some wine I just go to the street with cellars, chose open one, ask and get some wine.
If it isn’t obvious I work in brewery lol.
What will be inside? I bet some wine.
For now I have all teeth and no broken bones.
About difficulty of learning it, it is little bit harder than in-line skates. So I may learn it in few days/weeks.
Key is learn to lean in it and don’t catch it when you are falling.
So I needed new bike rear rack and before I checked out I searched what can I add to have free shipping/postage.
So as grown up, reasonable man I would like to announce that from today I am proud owner of unicycle.
It will be some time before I get hang of it but my family with words of courage like “it will be fing awesome" or “buy it, it will be fun to have” or " everyone has to buy some stupid st sometimes” make me believe that I will learn it.
Otherwise nothing new.
Bratislava it is really underrated and undiscovered city.
This weekend I was on my first (this year) multi day bike trip. Let’s just say that I am super tired after these 275 km this weekend. But it was amazing maybe next weekend i will do something similar if weather permits.
I didn’t notice the first two posts. But last week I finished puting together my bike. I had a frame for about a year and procrastinate with picking components.
Usualy this time I making cider but this year all apples fel from the trees before they ripen.
I moved and my friends gave me cheff knife at the housewarming party.
I was so ashamed that first thing I cut with it was frozen pizza. So the next day I had to actualy cook something.
Little hectic, I moved and changed jobs and still I had to “visit” my parents sometimes to get my stuff and dealing with paperwork. But it will get better I will probably have everything done today.
Who played or plays rugby here?
I played it 5 years ago (junior league) and still here are only few clubs so we had to travel through our country a lot.
Stopped because I still have same 65 kg as I had when I was 15.
Mint was my first distro. My interest begun with LibreOffice, then W10 got unusable for me and rest is history.
I distrohopped a year ago but returned to Mint
Please don’t use it in eastern countries. As someone who lives in country that had “them” for 40 years and more than 20 of those was occupied I take this term more like a insult.
Remembered another one.
Friend ask me and another friend, we cook on summer camp together, to cook lunch on his wedding.
He wanted form us to cook meal A we tell him that we didn’t cook it so it will be shtshow, but we could cook meal B, C or D. This didn’t work so we cooked meal A and it was shtshow.
It all started with “fully equipped professional kitchen” whitch wasn’t equipped at all (we were prepared for this). Than few other things go wrong. But the TIFU moment was soup - some miscommunication and bad decisions led to adding the noodles in it too early so you can imagine the porridge it become.
I had a blast afterwards, and too much beer to forget this experience.
My friend then said that it was exactly as he imagined it to be, because his now wife didn’t want another meal.
Yeah politic is messed right now in Hungary and Slovakia in this regard. But I don’t think that it sets general feelings towards lgbtq. As a tourist you should be fine, I had really weird encounters in really rural area in Romania but never felt like I was in danger. Just to be safe I would put the rainbow flag down but that’s all, lots of people are progressive, even in those countries, and assholes are everywhere.
Hit me up if you will ride through Czech Republic, I am not active much on this account so - @plactagonic@sopuli.xyz (my second lemmy account); @plactagonic@f.cz (mastodon)
