I brewed my Old Ale today. I ended with a gravity of 66 and it should attenuate well--6.5%+ abv. That's exactly what I was shooting for, which is great. I should bottle it around the end of the month.

I was kicking my self this evening for not having the sense to transfer my IPA from a month ago into a keg to keep it in waiting for when one of my beers in the cooler blows--so as soon as I can I can get it in and start chilling it for carbonation. I decided that I will do that tomorrow, and checked the keg to see whether it needed an over night treatment. It looked good. I went to the oatmeal stout, to pour myself a beer. Half a glass--pop, foam, the keg blew.
