- Switching to a 4 mini regulator setup for the new kegerator. If it ever arrives that is.
- 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!
- Oysters, cheese, sake. Pure bliss.
- 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. What did I miss?

- 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.
- Schlenkie!
- Breaking the seal on a Schlenkerla Marzen from wooden barrel. A rare sight outside of Bamberg.
- Lagerfest at Kromme Haring

- 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.
- Just arrived at Vandestreek's fresh hop festival
- The haul
- 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?
