Greetings to all, we will start with the main and that is call for support. On the way to the event WHY 2025 in Netherlands we lost our car. In short the repair would be more expensive than is the value of the car. Importantly the car was very unreliable. For us the car is crucial for our activities especially with the upcoming season. We would like to ask you for your support by buying our products, financial support and if possible investment through a loan. Option is also offering a car for an affordable price. Here we have created a page with more info and here is link to our PayPal and bank account details. We would like to thank you for any support!

What happened from our last news letter? We have been participating a lot at the summer events. Already last year we have participated at farmers markets in Prague, Náplavka and Kulaťák. This year we have started to do also Craft Beer Festivals and Street Food Festivals. It was a good decision it pays back. We are trying to continue to do two events during Saturday and if possible one during Sunday. To be able to do so, we have invested into two more draft systems a equipment needed. It was a big investment but we believe it was worth of it. We continue searching for kinder spirits who would help us in our activities. Our requirements is being in "touch" with fermentation and for example having practical experience with making kombucha for example. If possible we ask for language, it helps a lot, English is the most required. Crucial for us is that the person is able to help at least once or preferably twice per month on Saturday. Before we forget we have managed to distill cidre from season 2023 a 2024, which makes us very happy. We also continue with production of syrups. So far we have done from red and black currants, from sour cherries and now we are preparing for myrobalan.

And now a bit of for seeing of the future. This year we plan to start our autumn harvest of apples in France after first weekend of October. Simultaneously we are planning to do harvesting and processing in Czech Republic, where we plan to ferment at the styles of "flying breweries" having our legal residence with some other cidrerie. We plan to visit France three times, leaving mostly on Sunday and coming back on Thursday in two weeks so it is around ten days in total. We offer transportation, bed and board and we ask for four to five days of work per week.

A teď trošku pohled do budoucnosti. Tento rok plánujeme začít podzimní sběr a zpracování jablek ve Francii po prvním víkendu v říjnu. Současně budeme dělat sběr a zpracování také v ČR, kde budeme kvasit na způsob létajících pivovarů pod předem domluvenou cidrerie. Do Francie plánujeme jet minimálně třikrát, jako dříve odjezd v neděli a pak příjezd přespříští čtvrtek, takže cca deset dní. Za pomoc nabízíme odvoz tam a zpět, ubytování a stravu. Dělá se cca čtyři až pět dní týdne, podle domluvy. Více informací najdete zde. Tento rok bude na jablka poměrně bohatý, zároveň jsme ale pustili dva sady, tak by to mělo být celkem v pohodě.

To by bylo pro teď vše, budeme se těšit brzy zase na napsanou či na viděnou!

Pro Kvasírnu Jara,

František Apfelbeck
