==Season 2020==


'''2020/05/29''' Just some preliminary notes:
* we have had no frost or snow in spring, so it could be a bumper crop. Schneider apples, golden delicious and Mostbirne over at Freitag.
* also plenty of Jostabeeren growing.
* I will likely not have any more room than last season, so limited to the same ~900kilos. Maybe I can fit another two 100litre vats into the boiler-room.
* use schneider and/or golden delicious for cidre ?
* juice mostbirnen and ferment the juice, but add sugar ? use the 300litre vat? it's too big for solids.
* vats available: 10 x 100litre, 2 x 150litre, 1 x 300litre. Not including the 100litre Graf for watering.
* will need to think of what to do with the left-overs.
* need to buy press-säcke for the big hydraulic press.
* consider replacing the funnel on the Häcksler.
* need to maintain a spreadsheet - "maische-status" - and put labels with numbers on the vats.
* ideas for a washing plant? something with brushes and water sprinklers.



Reflux experiment with a heatsink and fan on the main pot - I don't think it is particularly effective. The temperature on the heatsink is good, with a big fan down to 28C, but on the copper pipe, it's still 65-66C. I suspect that is too high for any vapour to condensate?


'''2020/06/13''' I distilled the 30litre vat with the whole brown (black) pears, plus a few litres of leftovers of the last vat with pearmash. Yield was about 1litre of clean alcohol, X%, but the interesting thing was that the pot did not shake whilst boiling, it just sat completely still on the induction plate. I'm guessing because there was enough space in the water between the pears, for the vapour to escape easily. 
'''2020/06/14''' Have found another 30litre vat with what must be pear juice. I really must keep better records. 
'''2020/07/06''' Have picked 33kg jostabeer, plus Nadine's and what Nicole picked for us last year.

==Season 2018==

Early June I acquired an oak cask, a Schnappsfass, in the Brocki. 18francs. Reconstituting it with water, it took a couple of days to grow completely tight. Even just those couple of days gave a nice yellowish tint to the water.
The cask holds 4.5litres so on 13/6/2018, I took 1000ml @ 58%, 2000ml @ 64%, 100ml at 74%, all from apple juice, and 1400ml water and filled it up. That should give a percentage of around 43. This is really exciting!

'''2018/07/11''' I tried some, just filled up a little 250ml wine bottle. Very nice!

'''2018/07/18''' The tap has grown stuck as has essentially the wooden cork on the top. I broke the tap when I used too much force.

'''2018/08/10''' I noticed it dripping out of the tap, albeit very slowly. Using a syphon I emptied the cask into bottles. I only got 3 full 700ml bottles, so 2.1litres. I probably took out at least 500ml in July, but that still means only ~3litres. I don't know if the rest hast slowly dripped out, I guess it must have.

I'm letting the cask dry up a bit, so I can remove the tap. Next time I'll use a cork in both holes, that ought to prevent any spillage.


'''2018/08/15''' still not able to remove the tap. It is really stuck.
'''2018/08/19''' finally removed the tap.
'''2018/08/30''' I took 5 x 700ml, at 58%, 77%, 52%, 67%, 70% all from pear/birne 2015, and added 1000ml of water (first used for rinsing the bottles) into the oak fass. That should give a percentage of around 50.
'''2018/10/11''' Have filled into 4 x 700ml and 2 x 500ml bottles, so 3.8litres. Nice colour.
'''2018/10/12''' I took 5 x 700ml, at 54%, 56%, 63%, 63%, 64% all from apple June 2015, and added 800ml of water (first used for rinsing the bottles) into the oak fass. That should give a percentage of around 48.8.
'''2018/11/12''' The mixture came out at 49%, much as predicted. I would like to bring it down to 45%, so I am going to add 350ml, giving me 45.1% and a total volume of 4650ml, 6 x 700ml plus 350ml left over. This one is quite pale, in comparison to the previous batch (pear/birne).
'''2018/11/12''' New batch: Birne, 4x700ml, 64%, 67%, 55%, 60%, 1000ml at 68% plus 470ml of water. This should come out at 56%, so add another 1000ml to get 45.5%.
'''2018/12/14''' Result: 55%, so need to add 1000ml to get to about 45%. So about 5litres, in 7 bottles. The colour is much lighter now.
'''2018/12/15''' New batch: Apple, June 2015, 6x700ml, 45, 55, 60, 66, 68, 68. plus 50ml of water. Should come out at about 60%, so add another 1400ml to get to e.g. 45%.
'''2019/01/15''' Result: 59%, so need to add 1400ml to get to about 45%. So 5.7litres, in 8 bottles.
'''2019/01/16''' New batch: Apple, June 2015, 6x700ml, 45, 58, 61, 63, 68, 75. plus 50ml of water. Should come out at about 60%, so add another 1400ml to get to e.g. 45%.
'''2019/02/17''' Result: 60%, so need to add 1600ml of water to get about 44%. 5.8 litres, in 8 bottles..
'''2019/02/19''' New batch: Apple, June 2015, 6x700ml, 47, 58, 61, 63, 68, 75. plus 50ml of water. Should come out at about 60%.
'''2019/03/17''' New batch: Apple+pear, May 2016, 6x700ml, 55, 60, 70, 72, 75, 80 plus 50ml of water. Should come out at about 67%.
'''2019/04/17''' Result: 68%, so need to add 2200ml of water to get about 45%. 6.4litres, in 9 bottles.
'''2019/04/19''' New batch: birne May 2015, 3x700ml, 1x1000ml: 50,60,70,74%. Should come out at about 63%.
'''2019/05/25''' Result: 64%. so need to add 1400ml to get about 44%. 4.5litres = 6 bottles of 700ml.
'''2019/05/30''' New batch: apple, March 2017, 4x700ml, 1 x1000ml: 52%,70%,83%,84%,55%. Estimated 67%.
'''2019/07/07''' I did not study the result, just put it in a large bottle.
'''2019/07/07''' New batch: birne, August 2015, 5x700ml: 80%,70%,60%,77%,69%. Estimated 69%.
'''2019/08/21''' Drained the above into big bottle. Not dliuted.
'''2019/08/25''' New batch: birnemash, August 2015, 4x700ml: 60%,70%,80%,62%. Estimated 67%. Add 1900ml to get 40%.

Admin: /* vat VI */

I started picking up some apples in the beginning of October. Now, 9 October, I have roughly 20kg of chopped up, frozen apples. I've picked up maybe 1-2 kg every other day so far, which is not a lot when compared to the 2014 harvest. I did also pick a few pears in the beginning, but then I stopped and later threw away the2-3kg I had collected. Not sure if I have sufficient time/capacity to pick and wash and freeze and press.

'''2016/10/23''' This week I picked up another 10-15kgs, sofar I have a 10kg plastic crate in the freezer. TOtal 30kg at the moment. I'm now pressing 10kg - one crate fits in the press pretty well, I expect to do the 2nd 10kg this afternoon. As usual, it took about 48 hours to thaw. 
'''2016/10/24''' each crate of approx 10kg produces 7litres of juice. Those are in vat VI, the 2x3kg trester I put in vat VII (100litres) and added 12L water and 8kg sugar. I did a yeast starter with some juice and 1ml yeast. 
'''2016/10/26''' the starter worked very well, was bubbling today. I added half to the juice in vat X, half to the trester in vat. Have pressed another createful, trester into vat VII, vat VI has 22 litres and is full. This is for the cidre. PIcked up another 16kg of apples. 
'''2016/10/27''' vat VII: added 6litres water and 4kg sugar. No bubbling yet. I am considering doing another yeast starter. 
'''2016/10/28''' pressed another crateful apple, vat X. I expect more juice than this will hold, destination is the 100litre IX. 
'''2016/10/30''' vat VII: still no bubbling, but I can hear "sizzling" in the vat. The apple create I had defrosted hadn't spent long anough in the freezer, many pieces were still hard. Put it back and took another one out. 
'''2016/11/01''' vat IX: pressed another 10kg apples, added 5kgs of sugar into 2+3 litre of juice. Emptied vat X into IX. 3kg trester into vat VII. Total of 5 loads of trester in vat VII. Am prepping another yeast starter, a bit of juice, water and some sugar. 0.5ml yeast. Added 3litres water + 2kg sugar to vat VII. 

I have 3 crates of apple left, maybe one more when I pick up the last apples. The trester expands when it soakes up water, will all of it fit into vat VII without causing an overflow? Will need to add more water and sugar too.

Looking at vat VII today, I got the impression that the trester is being pushed upwards by the CO2 which cannot penetrate the thick layer of apple? I "dug" a hole with the big red spoon, and saw the air lock respond right away when I put it back on. Not that much hapened later on.

'''2016/11/02''' Picked up the last apples. 
'''2016/11/03''' pressed one crateful. Added 7.5litres juice + 7kg sugar to vat IX. Put trester in vat XIII. Washed and cut the last, made up about a crate. That makes 10 crates in total, so about 100kg. If that is about 70litres of juice, there is 22litre for cidre, the rest in vat IX. 
Vat VII - I moved the apples around, causing more CO2 to be released, I even had buubles for a while.

'''2016/11/04''' pressed one crateful. Added 7litres juice + 6kg sugar to vat IX. Put trester in vat XIII. Added 6litres water and 4 kg sugar to vat XIII. 
'''2016/11/05''' pressed one crateful. Added 7litres juice, but no sugar to vat IX. Put trester in vat XIII. Added 3litres water + 2 kg sugar, with a handful of trester soaked in. 
'''2016/11/06''' pressed one crateful. Added 4litres + 3kg sugar to vat IX. Vat XIII: Added 12litres water + 8kg sugar, with a handful of trester soaked in. 
'''2016/11/07''' pressed the last crate. Added 5litres + 3kg sugar to vat IX. Vat XIII and VII: added 3litres water + 2kg sugar to each. 

===Summary===
About 100kg of apples, in 10 crates frozen for at least 2 days, then thawed for 2 days, then pressed. 7-8 litres per crate. The first 3 crates = 21litres went into vat VII, this is for cidre, will be about 40 x 0.5litre.

The remaining approx 50 litres are in vat IX, xx kg sugar added.

The 10 loads of trester, 2-3kg each, are in vat VII and XIII, with 27 litres of water and 12 kg of sugar added to each.

===vat VII===
Holds 5 x apple trester, 12+8 ws, 6+4 ws, 3+2 ws, 3+2ws = 30+19ws.

'''2016/11/06''' no bubbles. I think the maische is fermenting, but the CO2 cannot penetrate the apple layer. 
'''2016/11/07''' added 3litres water + 2kg sugar, dug a hole to the water, now we have bubbles. 
'''2016/11/08''' added 3litres water + 2kg sugar, bubbles seem to have stopped again. 
'''2016/11/10''' The lack of bubbles was due to the lid not quite being tight. 
'''2016/11/12''' added 3litres water + 2kg sugar 
'''2016/11/12''' added 3litres water + 1kg sugar. 
'''2016/11/20''' bubbling. 
'''2016/11/27''' bubbling. 
'''2016/12/01''' bubbling. Added 3litres water + 1kg sugar. 
'''2016/12/03''' bubbling. Added the last bits of apple, perhaps 1kg, unpressed. 
'''2016/12/04''' bubbling. Added 3litres water + 1kg sugar. 
'''2017/01/08''' still bubbling. 
'''2017/01/21''' still bubbling. 

===vat XIII===
Holds 5 x apple trester, 6+4 ws, 3+2 ws, 12+8ws, 3+2ws = 30+19ws.

'''2016/11/06''' bubbling happily. Waiting to add the last load of apple trester. 
'''2016/11/07''' added the last trester, added 3litres water + 2kg sugar. 
'''2016/11/08''' added 3litres water + 2kg sugar. 
'''2016/11/12''' added 3litres water + 2kg sugar, bubbling nicely. 
'''2016/11/12''' added 3litres water + 1kg sugar. 
'''2016/11/20''' bubbling. 
'''2016/11/27''' bubbling. 
'''2016/12/01''' bubbling. Added 3litres water + 1kg sugar. 
'''2016/12/03''' bubbling. Added the last bits of apple, perhaps 1kg, unpressed. 
'''2016/12/04''' bubbling. Added 3litres water + 1kg sugar. 
'''2017/01/08''' still bubbling. 
'''2017/01/21''' still bubbling. 

===vat IX===
Holds xx litres of apple juice and xx kg of sugar.

'''2016/11/06''' bubbling happily. I worried about the foam rising too high, but it later receeded. 
'''2016/11/09''' bubbling happily. 
'''2016/11/20''' bubbling. 
'''2016/11/27''' bubbling. 
'''2016/12/04''' bubbling. 
'''2017/01/08''' looks like it's done bubbling. 
'''2017/01/22''' dumped remainder of cidre in, aerated with drill for a minute or two. 

===vat VI===
Holds about 22litres of juice for cidre.

'''2016/10/26''' vat VI has 22 litres and is full. 
'''2016/11/20''' bubbling, but not very frequently. Am thinking of racking. 
'''2016/11/27''' bubbling, but not very frequently. 
'''2016/12/04''' bubbling, but not very frequently. 
'''2017/01/08''' racked into vat X. 
'''2017/01/21''' bottled into 8 x 0.7litre (Italian Moretti) and 18 x 0.5litre bottles. Added 5g of sugar per bottle, slightly less for the 0.5litre bottles. There is at least 5litres left. 
'''2017/01/22''' bottled the rest in 11 x 0.5litre bottles. Added maybe 4g of sugar per bottle. 

Total yield: 8 x 0.7litre (Italian Moretti) and 29 x 0.5litre bottles. Maybe check back in a month?

I started picking up some apples in the beginning of October. Now, 9 October, I have roughly 20kg of chopped up, frozen apples. I've picked up maybe 1-2 kg every other day so far, which is not a lot when compared to the 2014 harvest. I did also pick a few pears in the beginning, but then I stopped and later threw away the2-3kg I had collected. Not sure if I have sufficient time/capacity to pick and wash and freeze and press.

'''2016/10/23''' This week I picked up another 10-15kgs, sofar I have a 10kg plastic crate in the freezer. TOtal 30kg at the moment. I'm now pressing 10kg - one crate fits in the press pretty well, I expect to do the 2nd 10kg this afternoon. As usual, it took about 48 hours to thaw. 
'''2016/10/24''' each crate of approx 10kg produces 7litres of juice. Those are in vat VI, the 2x3kg trester I put in vat VII (100litres) and added 12L water and 8kg sugar. I did a yeast starter with some juice and 1ml yeast. 
'''2016/10/26''' the starter worked very well, was bubbling today. I added half to the juice in vat X, half to the trester in vat. Have pressed another createful, trester into vat VII, vat VI has 22 litres and is full. This is for the cidre. PIcked up another 16kg of apples. 
'''2016/10/27''' vat VII: added 6litres water and 4kg sugar. No bubbling yet. I am considering doing another yeast starter. 
'''2016/10/28''' pressed another crateful apple, vat X. I expect more juice than this will hold, destination is the 100litre IX. 
'''2016/10/30''' vat VII: still no bubbling, but I can hear "sizzling" in the vat. The apple create I had defrosted hadn't spent long anough in the freezer, many pieces were still hard. Put it back and took another one out. 
'''2016/11/01''' vat IX: pressed another 10kg apples, added 5kgs of sugar into 2+3 litre of juice. Emptied vat X into IX. 3kg trester into vat VII. Total of 5 loads of trester in vat VII. Am prepping another yeast starter, a bit of juice, water and some sugar. 0.5ml yeast. Added 3litres water + 2kg sugar to vat VII. 

I have 3 crates of apple left, maybe one more when I pick up the last apples. The trester expands when it soakes up water, will all of it fit into vat VII without causing an overflow? Will need to add more water and sugar too.

Looking at vat VII today, I got the impression that the trester is being pushed upwards by the CO2 which cannot penetrate the thick layer of apple? I "dug" a hole with the big red spoon, and saw the air lock respond right away when I put it back on. Not that much hapened later on.

'''2016/11/02''' Picked up the last apples. 
'''2016/11/03''' pressed one crateful. Added 7.5litres juice + 7kg sugar to vat IX. Put trester in vat XIII. Washed and cut the last, made up about a crate. That makes 10 crates in total, so about 100kg. If that is about 70litres of juice, there is 22litre for cidre, the rest in vat IX. 
Vat VII - I moved the apples around, causing more CO2 to be released, I even had buubles for a while.

'''2016/11/04''' pressed one crateful. Added 7litres juice + 6kg sugar to vat IX. Put trester in vat XIII. Added 6litres water and 4 kg sugar to vat XIII. 
'''2016/11/05''' pressed one crateful. Added 7litres juice, but no sugar to vat IX. Put trester in vat XIII. Added 3litres water + 2 kg sugar, with a handful of trester soaked in. 
'''2016/11/06''' pressed one crateful. Added 4litres + 3kg sugar to vat IX. Vat XIII: Added 12litres water + 8kg sugar, with a handful of trester soaked in. 
'''2016/11/07''' pressed the last crate. Added 5litres + 3kg sugar to vat IX. Vat XIII and VII: added 3litres water + 2kg sugar to each. 

===Summary===
About 100kg of apples, in 10 crates frozen for at least 2 days, then thawed for 2 days, then pressed. 7-8 litres per crate. The first 3 crates = 21litres went into vat VII, this is for cidre, will be about 40 x 0.5litre.

The remaining approx 50 litres are in vat IX, xx kg sugar added.

The 10 loads of trester, 2-3kg each, are in vat VII and XIII, with 27 litres of water and 12 kg of sugar added to each.

===vat VII===

I started picking up some apples in the beginning of October. Now, 9 October, I have roughly 20kg of chopped up, frozen apples. I've picked up maybe 1-2 kg every otyher day sofar, which is not a lot when compared to the 2014 harvest. I did also pick a few pears in the beginning, but then I stopped and later threw away the2-3kg I had collected. Not sure if I have sufficient time/capacity to pick and wash and freeze and press.

'''2016/10/23''' This week I picked up another 10-15kgs, sofar I have a 10kg plastic crate in the freezer. TOtal 30kg at the moment. I'm now pressing 10kg - one crate fits in the press pretty well, I expect to do the 2nd 10kg this afternoon. As usual, it took about 48 hours to thaw.

'''2016/10/26''' the starter worked very well, was bubbling today. I added half to the juice in vat X, half to the trester in vat. Have pressed another createful, trester into vat VII, vat VI has 22 litres and is full. This is for the cidre. PIcked up another 16kg of apples. 
'''2016/10/27''' vat VII: added 6litres water and 4kg sugar. No bubbling yet. I am considering doing another yeast starter. 
'''2016/10/28''' pressed another crateful apple, vat X. I expect more juice than this will hold, destination is the 100litre IX. 
'''2016/10/30''' vat VII: still no bubbling, but I can hear "sizzling" in the vat. The apple create I had defrosted hadn't spent long anough in the freezer, many pieces were still hard. Put it back and took another one out. 
'''2016/11/01''' vat IX: pressed another 10kg apples, added 5kgs of sugar into 2+3 litre of juice. Emptied vat X into IX. 3kg trester into vat VII. Total of 5 loads of trester in vat VII. Am prepping another yeast starter, a bit of juice, water and some sugar. 0.5ml yeast. Added 3litres water + 2kg sugar to vat VII. 

I have 3 crates of apple left, maybe one more when I pick up the last apples. The trester expands when it soakes up water, will all of it fit into vat VII without causing an overflow? Will need to add more water and sugar too.

Looking at vat VII today, I got the impression that the trester is being pushed upwards by the CO2 which cannot penetrate the thick layer of apple? I "dug" a hole with the big red spoon, and saw the air lock respond right away when I put it back on. Not that much hapened later on.

'''2016/11/02''' Picked up the last apples. 
'''2016/11/03''' pressed one crateful. Added 7.5litres juice + 7kg sugar to vat IX. Put trester in vat XIII. Washed and cut the last, made up about a crate. That makes 10 crates in total, so about 100kg. If that is about 70litres of juice, there is 22litre for cidre, the rest in vat IX. 
Vat VII - I moved the apples around, causing more CO2 to be released, I even had buubles for a while.

'''2016/11/04''' pressed one crateful. Added 7litres juice + 6kg sugar to vat IX. Put trester in vat XIII. Added 6litres water and 4 kg sugar to vat XIII. 
'''2016/11/05''' pressed one crateful. Added 7litres juice, but no sugar to vat IX. Put trester in vat XIII. Added 3litres water + 2 kg sugar, with a handful of trester soaked in. 
'''2016/11/06''' pressed one crateful. Added 4litres + 3kg sugar to vat IX. Vat XIII: Added 12litres water + 8kg sugar, with a handful of trester soaked in. 
'''2016/11/07''' pressed the last crate. Added 5litres + 3kg sugar to vat IX. Vat XIII and VII: added 3litres water + 2kg sugar to each. 

===Summary===
About 100kg of apples, in 10 crates frozen for at least 2 days, then thawed for 2 days, then pressed. 7-8 litres per crate. The first 3 crates = 21litres went into vat VII, this is for cidre, will be about 40 x 0.5litre.

I started picking up some apples in the beginning of October. Now, 9 October, I have roughly 20kg of chopped up, frozen apples.

[[File:dansk-julemaerke.jpeg|200px||right|Dansk julemærke]]''[in Danish only]'' Jeg begyndte i 2006 at skrive et par sider med julenyheder og sende disse til familie og venner istedetfor julekort. Julekort har vi sendt i mange år til vores familie og venner der spredt rundt omkring i verden og de sidste mange år har jeg fået et "julekort" fra mine gode venner igennem mange år Kevin og Maria Jenkinson i Erding i Tyskland.

Kevins julekort har netop altid været et par sider med billeder og historier fra året der gik. Jeg gik efterhånden og var blevet lidt træt af at skrive julekort med den samme smøre om dit og om dat, og bestemte mig så i 2006 til istedet at forsøge mig med et par sider med julenyheder.

'''December 2007.'''

Nu er det så andet år jeg skriver lidt julenyheder, og da jeg også havde tænkt mig at inkludere gamle og nye venner og bekendte som vi ellers ikke netop "er på julekort med", tænkte jeg det ville være en god ide

* at sende julenyhederne per email med et PDF vedhæng, og
* at sætte dem op her så jeg blot kan sende et link istedetfor hele PDF'en.

'''Januar 2012.'''

Det blev egentligt ikke til så meget med at sende julenyhederne ud med email, men PDF filerne kan stadig findes her.

Jeg har flyttet lidt om på indholdet på min webside, og blandt andet flyttet julenyhederne herover i wiki'en. Samtidig har jeg også fået opdateret
listen og taget de sidste 2-3 års nyheder med.
