I moved some disconnects around last night, forgetting my almost empty keg of Hefe had a leaky poppet on the liquid side.

This morning, I got in my car and noticed "water" around my kegerator, and out the garage door.

Looks like the last couple of quarts of Hefe is feeding the flies.

:(

That whole post is going to be replaced, poppet and all now. It's bent on top, too.
 
Look at it this way - it's an opportunity to brew something new!

There was a pint and a half left, it was good.

Yeah, I brewed a 5 gallon batch of extract Hefe (Zymurgy experiment), and 5 gallons of German Golden Ale (all grain) today.

:mug:
 
I feel your pain too. Had the same thing happen last month, filled my Keezer up about 1-2". Had to pull everything out and clean. That wasn't fun!
