Ok, so if you are interested in measuring methods for density:

1. gravimetry - you weigh your sample in standard vessel (you have to have constant temperature)

2. the floaters (hydrometer) - you read the line on the scale.

3. the U tube - it measures resonant frequency when it is vibrated. The frequency is dependent on density of the tube + sample.

4. optical methods- these indirectly measure something in the sample, in our case it is sugar.

• refractometry - you measure how the refractive index changes and loads of stuff can affect it like alcohol
• polarimetry - you pass polarized light through tube and measure the twist by aligning another filter.

So you have to ask yourself what you measure. With methods 1-3 it is gravity, with methods 4 it is something different which points you to some approximation of gravity. Also I am long from school so my terminology might be mixed up.

There is AntonPaar EasyDens which is used in small brewerys here. Still not ideal for homebrewing at 500€, it is more for commercial use price range.

I think that they have to be built to withstand some abuse. The U tube is prone to get dirty and throw off the measurements over time.

Yes, leftover brewing or whatever I can find (in case of apples for cider) is the best kind of homebrewing. I am usually pleasantly surprised what comes from them.

Not good.

Nothing special, lots of food and drinks, duplicate sellers and stuff like that.

On the other hand I visited markets in Austerlitz, they have them only on the reenactment weekend. Much better 10/10.

Try Kouř (1990), it is weird musical comedy and has English subtitles. It isn’t for everyone but worth the watch.

Yeah I know the days when anything that could go wrong goes wrong. In my case it is usually my attempts to correct my mistakes that makes it even worse. And I am still genuinely surprised that I made something good.

In our case it is issue of quantity, we have 40l batches and it is too much for one person to pull the bag/manipulate with pots.

We have false bottom pot on lift and it isn’t ideal but still much better than BIAB. It needs some work/ new pot for heating (we got the induction heater for free) and because the bottom valve is bad.

After trying/helping some friends with their systems I think that our setup is maybe the best you can have.

When it’s apple season, loads of people reach me and my friend if we want some. This year we had to stop taking new apples because we didn’t had the capacity to process them all.

Now I have about 40l of archive worthy cider (some was consumed/given away already).

I tried to use wood chips and it turned out amazing.

I will start.

Last month I helped my dad with converting his settup to BIAB. It didn’t go too well, he thought it would be simpler and less work. Tldr it is simpler but it requires more work. So he will probably stay on current settup. We have to upgrade the pots for induction (it is needed after 15 years some valves are falling apart).

Not only Germans but all sides. They were used as scout units and for delivery.

That’s maybe a better question.

Divorced but still friends

You probably didn’t checked recent politics of our countries. Still could be worse (looks south).

Some mastodon instance has it covered already. https://eigenmagic.net/@daedalus/113519360107067092

Probably, shimano has 3 hub types.

• 7,8,9 speed hub
• 9,10 speed
• 11, 12 speed (you can add shim to get it to 10)

If you have access to some 9 speed cassette, try to fit it (ask friends or lbs). I think that the 10 speed won’t fit but the 9 might be OK.

Man, more I looked in to it the more I ask if it would be better to use decathlon buy back program and buy another bike (like GRVL 120).

But if I would suggest to look in to Microshift Advent X or sword shifters/derailleurs. They are cheaper, only 10 speed (that’s good enough) and you can get decent gear range also if you go 2x it gets to even larger. It is compatible with shimano and fully mechanical.

I bikepack with 34/46 front and 11-42 back 10 speed and it is just barely enough gears.
