The bike looks like it will fall apart in few km, the guy told me right now that he wants to ride on it another 100km tomorrow.

It doesn’t look like this time I will convince him that it is bad idea. Me and my friend wants to leave them and ride about 150km home after we visit Vienna tomorrow (it will probably be easy day).

And the 150 km isn’t insane we will climb about 200m and it is asphalt.

Is that beer on the left side? I can stand behind that.

Right now I am at campsite, family of 6! has bike touring holiday and we set up tent right next to them.

So we already aren’t the biggest bike group here.

Stories where shit hits the fan - centering wheel on the camp spot wasn’t on my bingo card but it wasn’t unexpected.

The guy has also totally stretched chain so drive train is bad too… We just scratched route and will probably go to Bratislava then Vienna and home.

There are 5 of us, already there was first blood. Guy with backpack fell (fortunately he carries less gear), my bike didn’t worked out so he will have to deal with it.

And we have pretty good pace downhill so I think it will be about 100km today.

First stop. On second I hope that I can change one of these bikes at my home cca half way for my old bike with rack and it is 28’ not 26’ as the guy with backpack has.

I will need it lol.

Just leaving, I hope that I will post update in few days.

I just wake up before unplanned week trip.

So these guys asked me about 2 weeks ago if I want to ride to slovenia. I asked my boss got few days off and then I found out more about the trip - spoiler they didn’t know anything, wanted to cover 170km/day and other insane things.

I convinced them to change plans to sth realistic and that made me leader of this group, which isn’t ideal because I didn’t want to plan or deal with it.

We will go south on EV 13 from Břeclav to I don’t know and take train home.

Wish me luck.

Czech Republic, it has some requirements like it has to be voluntary, in good faith…

But basically you get 3000 czk write off per donation max 12 000 czk per year (you can donate every 3 months).

I am glad that you like it. It would be nice to have little more traffic but post quality is more important so I can’t complain.

Rabies are eradicate here, but still controlled some neighboring states still have few cases here and there.

Where I am you get about 100 € tax write off per donation, one donation is about 0.5l so you could write off about 6 000 € from your personal tax returns.

Shamelessly promoting my community again: !homebrewing@sopuli.xyz

It averages about 1 post per week but it certainly isn’t dead.

In my experience the drip on wax is enough. I put new chain in acetone, then alcohol (each bath about a day), just in mason jar nothing fancy.

After installation I apply drip on wax, which lasts about 100-150 km (it is based on really soft paraffin so doesn’t last long).

It was choice between that or leave it for first car that would drive there.

Here they have only lices, nothing much to worry about.

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.
