2023s
- 5 liters of svagdricka (a type of Swedish malt beverage). You can substitute this with non or low-alcohol beer (I’ve tried it and it doesn’t make any notable changes).
- 5 sliced raw potatoes
- 1 packet of baker’s yeast, 50 g
- 1 bag of cloves
- 1 bag of cardamom seeds
- 1 piece of fresh ginger (about 5 cm)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 500 g raisins
- 2.5 kilograms of sugar
-
Spices: The measurement of spices is not entirely precise, as you may have noticed. Season to your taste – those who love cinnamon can add an extra stick.
-
Alcohol content: The alcohol content of the mulled wine typically ranges between 10 and 15 percent.
-
Storage: The mulled wine can be stored for one or two years after bottling, and it should only get better in taste. Eventually, it will oxidize, and you’ll notice it.
-
Yeast: I personally recommend using wine yeast. But you can use regular bread yeast, which seems to work excellently. You can try at your own risk with sweet bread yeast or another type. For safety, dissolve the yeast in a little svagdricka separately first.
-
Svagdricka: Svagdricka may start appearing on store shelves around this time of year, but sometimes it doesn’t arrive until November. Keep pestering your grocer and remember that svagdricka is sometimes called “Juldricka” (Christmas drink).
- La neta - Addictively flavorful tacos, a must-try for cilantro lovers. Perfect for anyone seeking a taste adventure.
- Queens Head - A diverse beer selection in a cozy library setting, ideal for relaxing and unwinding.
How to Make DUNDERGLÖGG (Mulled Wine): A Swedish Recipe
It’s time to brew some DUNDERGLÖGG, also known as Mulled Wine.
I’ve done this several times before, and it’s difficult to fail. You can experiment as you like, but for your first attempt, I recommend following the original recipe. After the initial try, I suggest adding some fresh sliced oranges with the peel still on.
This year, I’m experimenting with “apple must” (apple juice-ish) instead of svagdricka (a type of Swedish malt beverage). If svagdricka is hard to find outside Sweden, you can substitute it with non-alcoholic beer.
Original Recipe:
Mix everything in a ten-liter bucket, cover it with plastic wrap with small holes in it, and let the brew sit at room temperature for at least three weeks, preferably six. Bottle it into well-cleaned bottles using a siphon, being careful not to include the sediment at the bottom. Heat and enjoy.

Digital dieting
I am currently undergoing a digital diet or cleanse.
I deleted my Reddit account which I’ve used for more than 11 years. The reason was the recent API changes, but I felt it was time to switch from unproductive time to productive time.
Even my biggest Achilles' heel, IRC, almost succumbed today. However, I didn’t quit completely; I just changed my self-hosted web client, The Lounge, for irssi instead. This is because I’ve decided not to use IRC on my phone anymore, only from my PC.
I will write more about this journey in the next couple of days, highlighting some interesting findings.
Now you don’t have to listen to those three hour long podcasts any more
I’m thinking about to do a 30 day challenge starting tomorrow. Something with diet, healt or exercise. Then microblog about it every day.
Nice evening with Tobbe Trollkarl. He gave a 5+ magician show for the kids.
I fcking love colder weather and my summer cabin.
Oh, I missed that ChatGPT has an official app now. And it’s very nice.
Watched Barbie 🍿 yesterday with daughter (7 years old). We realised 20-30 minutes in that this movie was more for me than her. I rate it 3 / 5. It was OK. I recommend people to stream (legally or illegally) it at home instead.
I’m like two years into Linux… but some stuff never get stuck to my brain.
Every time I do “sudo apt install
This always fix it:
sudo apt-get -f install
