Happy Thanksgiving, HBT'ers. I'm sure you're familiar with the BierMuncher Bottle Filler by now. I've been using it for the last few months and it always works a treat.
Today I wanted to bring a growler to Thanksgiving dinner at my brother's house. The keg I wanted was (of course) in the back of the fridge. As you can see it's no small task to get access to the rear kegs. There's also not a whole lot of room above the kegs to maneuver my arms.
It would have required a lot of time moving kegs, disconnecting lines, making a bloody mess in the fridge. My cobra tap was also already connected to my Apfelwein keg.
So I got all MacGuyver on the BMBF. I unscrewed the nozzle from the Perlick attached to that keg and forced a 5/16" line in. It was a *very* tight fit. Here's what it looked like:
Then it was just a matter of threading the nozzle back on and turning on the tap. With the growler it was very convenient to hold the stopper in place with my thumb and have my forefinger in the handle.
I'm going to see if I can purchase a plastic nozzle or two to dedicate to the task. I really like not having to disconnect any lines nor trot out my cobra tap.
