So I recently visited brewery with 100yo technology and what struck me most was how little has changed.

Now you basically have only differences in driving the brewery - electromotors instead of steam engines and transmissions.

Basic technology like 2 tanks - one for boiling and mashing, other for sparge and leaving decoction parts (with perforated bottom) - is same to this day.

Other thing that's different is cooling, you now have coolers for quickly cooling wort and cooled tanks. Instead of shallow baths where the wort is pooled to cool and putting ice to cellars.

So did you checked some historical brewerys with copper tanks and stuff like this? Did it make you change or adjust your brewing setup? Did you learn anything?

This "sauna" weather isn't the best for bikepacking, I had to take breaks pretty often. There is cherry season so you always find "reason" to stop for some "snack".

"They don't let reporters in here!" At an event paid for by a U.S. government blacklisted spy firm. I wonder how many years in a row I'll be able to infiltrate ISS World Prague, since I always post a hilarious photo. (Czech language, can be translated via Deepl)

And I looked at what I can add to have free shipping. After I told my mum that they have unicycles she told me: "It will be f-ing awesome, buy it."

So as responsible, grown up man I am now owner of unicycle.

(Here you can see how I tested the rack)

I didn't check the route and miss the second defensive line near Pohořelice so no bunkers this time.

Because of high solar activity there was aurora visible even at my location. But my Samsung ai did heavy lifting there it looked more like light smog.

Second photo is of last building still standing after construction of our nuclear plant and demolition of 3 vilages.

The third photo is of stream crossing that really suprased me, steep downhill then breaks, off the bike to check for rocks to not end up in it.

I don't take much photos so this is all I got.

I am looking for new rear rack. I currently have old rack that I got with my first bike (about 20 years ago) so it shows its age.

I considered 2 options:

• aluminum rack

• cheaper option, they are everywhere

• CrMo steel rack

• durability, weight, less probability of corrosion of my CrMo frame.

So if you have some specific suggestions I would like to read them. I was looking at Tubus racks (grand tour and Logo) and some Decathlon options.

I think this may fit here, some of these setups are pretty sick.

On overnighter this weekend I checked out another one. This one is more standard, but still it is basically standard one split and with road in between the halves.

I managed to find some file sharing service (my instance probably didn't support pictures) so I post here some detailed pics of this bunker.
