Adoption of a barrel at Nevel Wild Ales!
Nevel (https://nevel.org) is a brewery making "wild and sour ales, straight from nature" with a mission to "reconnect people with nature". I am excited to be part of a project where we as a group of 16 fans "adopted" a barrel, and following tastings and masterclasses, determine what happens to the beer in that bottle. A year and a half of learning about wild fermentation and wood aging lies ahead!

Nightingale Cider are based in Kent, which means they primarily use culinary apples to make their cider. This makes them light, fresh, fruity and acid-driven. They're delicately aromatic and soft on the tannins.

These are full-juice ciders, rather than the commercial stuff that's often made from concentrates, and sometimes contains as little as 35% fruit juice. (Blech!)

Sam only uses wild fermentations, so sometimes you'll find some gentle fermentation character in there as well, adding to the interest.

I really like his Wild Disco (made with Discovery apples) and Tenterden — a still cider made from four varieties including (iirc) Falstaff and Bramley. It's off-dry with some lovely elderflower flavours from the fruit.

Kombucha day #5: the SCOBY has developed fine tendrils, last night the cat has been hissing a lot to the jar...

There is a culture in making #injera is like a cross bt zen mastery, new age affirmation, Christian humility and animistic augury

With astrology for good measure

Humility works but you have to stay humble. Practice makes you a master but regardless one day one side of the griddle will make sticky in the era, and then the opposite side the next day even though both sides were washed in the same way greased in the same way Etc.
Maddening
But #wildfermentation teff makes my gut 😍
