I had kegged a 5 gallon batch weekend before last to be ready when I returned from Thanksgiving vacation. We arrived back home this past Saturday so as soon as everything was put away & things were back to normal I went out to my shed to check my keezer. When I opened it up, one of the kegs was not sitting upright but leaning to the side a little bit. When I went to push it down to see what was going on, I noticed it along with another keg were floating & the new keg was empty. Turning on the light reveled that all the beer from the new keg was sitting in my keezer. It appears that the liquid side poppet did not close & over the course of 5 days, it leaked out & was sitting in the bottom of my keezer. I did check it last Tuesday & even poured a small glass to get a quick taste but didn't notice anything wrong.The good news is the keezer didn't leak so there wasn't beer on the floor so the mess was contained & also my wet/dry vacuum was able to clean up the mess quickly.
Oh well, it certainly could have been worse!
