After a week in the keg, this came out quite tasty, albeit cloudy as hell. Anyone else package theirs yet?

I ended up pitching a second starter because I thought it stalled out, 1.5 L of 3711 at high krausen. Did that on Saturday. It's down to 1.010 now... so I kegged it.

I pitched a 1L starter of 3711 French Saison. Looks like fermentation quit so I took a gravity reading today, only down to 1.032. Anyone else having issues?

The guy filling my keg said it was 1.067 OG. I measured 1.062 on my refractometer though FWIW.

Huh I was hoping for something less weird than last time

If it's anything like last time, BSG will be donating the ingredients to make the wort, so it's unlikely to have a ton of (expensive) hops in it.

I believe it was 98% Golden Promise, 2% Dingeman Aromatic. Bittered with Mandarina Bavarian. Titrated down to around 3.8 pH with citric acid, then down to 3.2 via lacto. This is all from memory when I asked Todd about it while he was filling my keg.

I sampled mine after 24 hours at 40 PSI and it was face melting tart. 24 more hours on the gas and it has greatly mellowed. Now it's a clean and lightly tart saison. Reminds me a lot of Boulevard's Brett Saison, I just used 3711 though.

3711 brought mine down to 1.006. I'll probably keg it in a couple days. Hydrometer sample tasted pretty good. It was tart but not too bad.

I tasted the wort before pitching and it reminded me of some sort of meat. Then the fermentation stunk up my house pretty weird. Not expecting much from this beer.

Thanks, glad to hear I didn't kill my STC. I cancelled the order for a new one and ordered an arduino uno instead.

I have an arduino duemilanove with an ATMEGA168 chip (only 14KB flash available), any advice on what to trim out of the program to lower the size? I tried flashing last night commenting out the celsius data and a bunch of the upper portion of the fahrenheit data (since I won't ever set it above...

I noticed on the user reviews for the ball valve on the NB site that if you follow the instructions you end up with broken o-rings. One reviewer suggested the following order for installing the ball valve: ball valve assembly, washer, kettle, o-ring, locknut. I did that and it worked for me. No...

I just picked up a 10 gal (with fittings) from the St. Paul store. No dents on my copy. Attached some pics of the graduations for those interested. I think it's some sort of chemical etching. There's no texture to it so I'm pretty sure it's not ink. She's a sexy beast though. *Darkness...
