Tried to regulate the temp of my BDSA and Grahamn's English Cider. Drank my first bottle of Saison (first Belgian/French style ale brewed) and was pleasantly surprised after only 1 week in the bottle.
Caught up with a friend I haven't seen in,10 years over multiple glasses of hefe. Yesterday I brewed 3 10 gal batches. An IIPA, IPA, and an APA. got the pacman working overtime tonight while we kick this keg of hazy unfiltered goodness.
Checked the FG of my accidental hi-grav APA and found it to be done enough to keg. Started 1.074 and sits now at 1.014. Love fresh yeast from brewpubs. Kegging it this evening.
Does anyone here keg early and use a ball lock fitting with a 0-30 psi gauge to monitor natural carb progress?

Curious how this went? I just don't see it, but have a sister/Brother-In-Law that won't even taste my homebrew because drinking'd a 'sin.'
NineMilBill said:Well, I reminded them that Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine - so he was a homebrewer himself. They countered with something about public drunkenness, and I explained to them that homebrewing is an art and the vast majority of homebrewers aren't attempting to get trashed, otherwise I'd just got buy a bottle of the cheapest Vodka I could find. They seemed pretty set that I was an exception to the rule, and that most homebrewers were functioning alcoholics.
It's really not productive to "argue" an issue with someone when you're the only one with personal experience in it.
Whatever.
