I am a huge jackass. I'm embarrassed to tell this tale, but here goes.
The other day I kegged my second batch of homebrew. I put 30lbs of co2, shook, repeat, then let sit. Yesterday I figured I would give the beer a taste, so I pull the 30lb gas connect, fumble with hoses and such, then mistakenly hook up one of the 3 serving gas connects, which is at 12lbs, to the still very pressurized keg...on the beer post!! Since the 3 serving lines are connected to the regulator by means of a simple stainless cross (in an effort to save some $ over a manifold w/check valves), you can guess what happened next.
I caught it before it went too far, and pushed the beer back out by pulling the relief valves on the properly connected kegs, but still... what a noob. I hadn't even been drinking yet. *sigh*
