crisis averted. I love it when a plan comes together!

I have had this problem with the first keg that I did. I no longer fill it up past the CO2 tube in the tank. Just ensure that if beer got in your CO2 line you sanitize it. Good luck.

The previous owners had to replace the thatch roofing every 2 years. WE just replaced it and we are going to tarp it in the winter months to try and extend the life of the roof. $660 every 2 years is kind of pricey. Thanks!
