This month photo for this regular discussion thread is from my summer trip, I visited few craft brewerys and tasted local beers.

As usual share whatever brewing related - questions, recipes, successes, bad batches...

I will be away for some time (~6 months) but should be reachable. I will travel through Europe (Spain, France, Portugal, Germany,...) when I post about this in relevant community I will link it here. Keep it chill here so I don't have to worry on road.

My last few brews turned out amazing and I am glad that I will be away and they will have time to age. Otherwise I would have drink them in few months, someone told me that ciders are best after 1-2 years of aging so finally it may get the chance to survive that long.

Edit: If you want to ask me something about my plans I posted about it on [email protected]

Got a few demijohns filled in my loft with experiments.

1: Sourdough starter brew, nothing fancy just a test for what brewing with sourdough starter as a yeast source might be like. 2: Inverted sugar, see if inverted sugar makes much difference 3: Honestly forgot what went into this one, it looks more active than the others though. It has some bits of fruit floating in it. Really should write this stuff down next time.

Finally while not exactly brewing, I have a large bag of sloe berries that I really want to infuse with gin at some point, but need to get enough gin. Probably fill a demijohn with it because I have them so may as well.
