I got home today after working 13 hours and went to my basement to pour off a pint. Much to my dismay, my kegerator had the same idea apparently. The floor was soaking wet and the front of my kegerator was sticky from beer. Lord knows how long it was drip dripping all over the place but after some hasty cleanup, things are back to normal-ish. The wife is pissed but hey, the basement smells great!
Anyway, I noticed the keg is nearly empty and I've got a pretty good sized tap handle on the sucker. Could the weight of the handle and the lack of beer left in the keg cause it to open enough for some dripping or did I do something else wrong? I've never had this happen before so I figured I'd put my head together with everyone here and see if there's anything I can do to prevent this in the future so the SWMBO doesn't kill me.
Prost!
