yep, just the standard, clamp, tighten, spin, tighten, spin, repeat tube cutter. it took a little longer than you would think, since it is stainless steel, but it worked.

I just cut a 1/4" off a dip tube about 2 weeks ago. Have not seen any ill effects yet. I'm assuming there will be a pint or less left in the bottom of the keg compared to a full length dip tube. Before I cut it, the tap had clogged 3 times - no clogs since cutting it.

your plan will work fine. just follow your normal kegging process, hit it with CO2, purge a couple times and stick it someplace cool. As you say, it won't carb while waiting, but as soon as you swap it you can follow your normal carbonation process (set and forget, force/shake, high pressure...

I don't even try names after learning how Featheringstonehaugh is pronounced. I just stick with a 'Hey you' until someone tells me how to pronounce their name and even then they will likely still get a 'hey you'.

A would have a tough time picking a go-to beer. Style would be either IPA or IIPA, but I don't find myself buying the same beer over and over. If I had to choose one, I'd probably go with Odell Myrcenary.

For those interested in the MLB cellar dweller contest, here are the contestants and their guesses. I'll try to update every month or so just so i dont forget about it. member team wins current wins BeerMeDuffMan Braves 65 0 Helly...

My oldest, who will be 8 later this month, got so excited after walking about 3 steps into mommy's arms, he puked all over her. Wasn't sick, just really happy and puke all over mom. Wish I would have gotten a picture of it.
