Of course this happens with the Octoberfest I lagered all summer.
Anyone know if Northernbrewer carries two foot straws?

Cue the bugler.....
Ahhhhh.....my condolences.
That happened to a truly awesome Pilsner that I brewed and lagered for months in hopes to enjoy over the summer. Was a loose cobra tap that I used to sample the beer that got mine.
I got only one glass before my kezer became a wading pool.
Auto-siphon comes in handy to purge the keezer.

Siphon it, filter it, and keg it. Only if it was that simple, sorry for your loss.

Thanks for the auto-siphon suggestion - worked like a charm.
There's still a few tastes left in the keg. Of course it's tasty.

Oh the humanity!
My condolences, when I have a mishap it usually is on the beer I worked forever designing, and refining a recipe, LOOOONG brew day, or something similar.
A quick ordinary bitter, or simple hefe? Never going to have a stuck poppet, never going to have the cat rub up on a tap handle and dump, nothing bad ever happens....
A three step decoction mash martzen that has lagered for half a year, or a wee heavy that took 12 hours to brew, aged for months in the fermentor, then racked to a whiskey barrel for another 2 months before racking to a keg and carbing up with intent of bottling from the keg???
Yup those ones ended up in the drain

Thank you - I intend to drown my sorrows with the second keg sitting in Lake Stuck Poppet.

i feel your pain. That happened to me earlier this year. You just get this twisting feeling in your gut when you open the keezer and see that.

I know that feel bro.
Lost almost 3 gallons of a graham cracker porter to that earlier this year. Finally got it all clean:/

Thanks for the condolences.
Luckily I have four more in pipeline and I can move on. If this were half the beer I had, I'd be bumming big time.

Had something similar happen recently to a beer that I kegged into a keg with a pinhole leak somewhere... lost about half of it before I noticed the puddle under the fridge. My condolences..
I would normally make a wisecrack at this point, but this truly is a tragedy. You have my condolences.

Alcohol abuse.

Happened to me the first time I ever kegged back in May. It was due to a loose liquid post line - I didn't have the proper 19MM wrench to tighten it down, so it leaked out overnight...sucked.
Mopping that up was a *****.
