I have been a bit on a brewing hiatus. Our kitchen renovations meant that my RAPT fermentation fridge became our main fridge for the past 2 months.
Today they are bringing our new fridge. I am really excited to have this sorted for our kitchen and being able to start brewing again!

Happy almost new year everyone!
What is everyone drinking this evening? I just picked up some sake and beer at Sterk / Pasteuning.
Got some nice funky cheese at Kef and my parents brought me a box of oysters. Will pair those with the bottle on the left; Terada Honke Daigo no Shizuku.

It has almost become a yearly tradition. For New Year's eve I get a big haul of cheese from Kef.
And oysters.
Now to decide which bottle of sake to pair this with.

I've been on an involuntary media diet for since early November
Someone bumped into my speaker, which fell into my TV. RIP LG G5 OLED :(
Insurance has been a nightmare to deal with but now they are replacing the panel on January 7th.
Part of me likes not watching TV actually.

Oh, did I share yet that I enrolled into a 1 week internship at sake brewery Daimon in Japan?
Because I did :-) Will take place in Februari.
Look really forward to it!

I kind of took a month long break from Bluesky.
Busy time at work and builders redoing our kitchen.

Homebrewers of Bluesky!
Where should I be looking/joining on here for engagement and chats about homebrewing?
I am finding Bluesky to be a bit of a desert, but hopefully I'm just not looking in the right places yet.
Advice appreciated - thanks! #homebrew #homebrewing #beer #uk

I've not seen much coverage of the latest Untappd update on Bluesky. They have allowed check-in for a lot of new beverages. Not just spirits, wine, and sake. Also sodas, teas, and coffee.

This evening is another meetup of the Amsterdam sake circle. The concept is simple; everyone takes a nice bottle of sake with them, tells the story of the bottle, we drink it together, and we discuss.
The line-up of bottles always is amazing. I'm bringing this Sankan Shuzo Kimoto Junmai.

I ordered some bottles from Midorinoshima (France). The sake book I had preordered a long time ago came at almost the same time.
Both are being inspected by my cat Barley.

Transferred my two fresh hop beers to kegs just now and I'm really happy with how they turned out. An amber Kveik (Eitrheim) and a big spelt Saison (8.5% ABV).

The Xbox game pass hike was the last drop after feeling really uneasy with Microsoft for a while. I'm out!
Not sure where to go for playing games on my sofa. I wish Steam would launch an updated Steam Machine.
Does anyone want to buy a series X?

Been a busy day!
Picked the other hop plant and brewed a beer. As is almost tradition I brew a big Saison with fresh hops.
It has a 80/20 pilsner and spelt malt base, 600 grams of green hops (Centennial), and will end up around 8.5 percent ABV.
Tomorrow I will brew a kveik-based beer.

Served some of my homebrew Doburoku at Sake Sip festival yesterday!
People seemed really curious about this weird brew and I got through the 4.5 liter that I brought quite rapidly.
