  I used this recipe about 6 weeks ago The only change from the original recipe was the
  addition of an ounce of Amarillo hops (because I agreed the IBUs would be too low, and that was
  the best choice ...

  I made it - it was one of the better kits I've tried.

  The hot water trick worked for me, with the keg still put together. Just lifted the ring and
  poured hot water slowly in. Loosened it right up! Then I put it back on, and had to do it
