Default first keg casualty...

so I had a few friends over after bailing on a party for a homebrew and movie. One of my buddies asked to try my moose drool clone and I agreed ofcourse. Anyways about 5 minutes later I got up to go to the bathroom and my kitchen floor was covered in beer. =( nobody is touching the tap but me from now on.

Punch him in the face and make him buy you ingredients as well as help out with the next batch. I bet he won't leave your tap open ever again.

Oh man, that sucks! I left mine slightly open one time by accident. I started seeing flashbacks of how long it took me to clean out all of my equipment, knowing that if I had to brew another I would have to do it all over again. It's like watching somebody kill a unicorn.

Was it a picnic tap or a bar tap? I've sometimes had my fridge close on a picnic tap and force it open. Fortunately I noticed before it had overflowed the mug I use as a drip tray.

Guess I have smarter friends, hah. I have people over all the time, and 6 taps, never really an issue. I did however have a party once and some dumb girl I didn't know wanted to try a beer so I said yes. She poured a cup, stepped back and said "How do I turn it off?!", while it was flowing full speed onto the floor (towel drip tray). I said "Are you stupid?! The opposite way you turned it on. Same concept as a sink and shower." Stupid college girls...

Wow is that really a thing? I worked as a bartender for years so maybe my perception is off, but I never imagined someone wouldn't know how to work a tap.
