Yes the "sponge" is happiest working, mine got mold or something in fridge when it wasn't used. (Sorry I am not too familiar in kombucha terminology)

It is, but juice from ripen apples has about 13% sugar content and I am not sure how much it will be with unripe ones. I don't know how would it age in bottles - more acid and peptides, less sugar.

Also I will find time for it in few weeks, maybe, and they will probably pe ripen.

Last year I didn't make any cider. I couldn't find apples. This year it looks better, but they are falling unripe from trees somewhere.

I hope you didn't have to throw out too much of the mead. I usually do experiments on really small scale (~1l).

Long time ago, didn't drink too much of it so it got infected after few months (irregular brewing). Since then I didn't try it.

First try or do you brew it regularly?

I will start, this week was uneventful everything was smooth without hiccup (my boss didn't had time so I had to brew the batch alone 12 h in work yeah).

Last week on the other hand, steam generator broke (hole in pipe), we had to finish the batch and outside temperature was 36°C. So we had to let everything open (doors and windows) to not have sauna in brewery. It was exhausting brew day.

We started testing new strain of yeasts from local lab. It looks good so far, for now we were brewing from 1st but now it will probably be 0's from lab.

"Half and other half is always the same" "... but I think that bigger half of you still don't get it."

It is not that I don't brew at all, now it is more seasonal (not beer) and I sometimes try small batches of recipes we want to brew on large scale. When you brew multiple times per week you just don't want to do it also on weekends, so I started riding on bike a lot (~7500 km so far in 10 months lol).

On the community stuff, I wanted to leave some time to get feedback (it didn't worked 1 person responded) and I think that it's up long enough.

I just unpinned the posts. And for the discussion post I may get to it tomorrow or you can do it. They get usually some traffic for about a week and it is better to have them not that frequent. 1/month is probably best.

I am not familiar with your 00x designation.

I have seen similarly upsetting thing on Philips charger - green charging and red charged. Like wtf do you know how many times I pull it out half charged.

Yes these. The posters were put up week ago, then for a week it was discussed with police and people who wanted to put up requests for investigation how to do it (to not overload judicial system with too much administrative work). Now the investigation started.
