1 gallon of IPA wasted, 2 lessons learned.

I opened my in-progress keezer today to pull a nice cold pint of IPA and was alarmed to see the floor of the freezer covered in a pool of beer! I initially thought the picnic tap was leaking but it turned out to be the beer line connection (mfl) to the disconnect was a bit loose. Thankfully I caught it before I drained the whole keg. So, lessons learned:

* which of my hoses fits the drain on my freezer
* tighten those connections!
* drink often ( so problems like this get caught early )

Ok, so that was three lessons. Sorry, no pics of the tragedy I was too devastated and panicking to clean up and stop the leak....

<pours out a beer> Sorry, man. It's a shame when a lesson comes at the cost of beer.

You mean, like this?

A caught the leak at less than a pint lost though...

Yeah, exactly like that but deeper

I lost a whole keg of IPA to that same thing. Tragic.

Had an o-ring on liquid post split after tapping the keg had 2 pints dumped whole keg plus a 1/2 #20 co2 tank Porter no top of that what a F-ing mess plus the loss and hic up in pipe line now I remove post check all o-rings when I keg

A moment of silence for those lost pints/gallons. May their loss not be in vain.
