Those were very hot, too! #coffee
That took forever! Dropped in tbe yeast, shook it well, in the beer brewing fridge. #homebrewing
Next step was to strain out the liquid. I had cleaned and sanitized a carboy earlier with Star San. Also an airlock. The cooked fruit goes in the compost (or flung out into the yard 🤪). It's a good thing I am doing this outdoors, I missed the carboy and spilled some everywhere. #homebrewing

I was just checking how my First Gold hop plants are doing when I spotted this comma butterfly sunning itself on the wall right next to them. And guess what its caterpillars like to eat.
Clue: it ain't egg-and-cress sandwiches........

A comma butterfly, so called because of the white comma shaped mark on the underside of its wing. Its caterpillars love to munch on stinging nettles, which I don't mind, and hops, which I do mind!
A friend lost his whole hop crop to unidentified caterpillars last year.
Hop plants growing up a sunny wall. This is First Gold, a 'hedgerow' variety: that is, it only grows to 2-3 metres.

So, I never did a proper #introduction because I am not in to those things, but after browsing the hashtag for few days I decided that maybe this is the time to make my own post.
So I am guy in 20's and mainly interested in #homebrewing #brewing and #cycling
More specifically I started brewing my own #beer when I was 15, because it was the easiest way to get alcohol at that time. It became my hobby, I moved to #cider only because I couldn't get decent one in store. And after that I worked in #craftbeer brewery.
As for #cycling I am interested in #bikepacking #biketouring #commuterbike and more of a utilitarian cycling. Right now I am touring through Europe on my bike and because I don't have anything other to do I will be doing that for about 6 months.
Sometimes I post in Czech, sometimes in English and I also repost from #lemmy where I moderate @homebrewing
Beauty pick of my fully loaded bike leaning on tree on a gravel patch on the side of road. In the background are mountains cowered in pine forest.
