Anyone ever drink a beer hard to kill a keg?

[passedpawn]

I'm hitting my Rye IPA hard right now to make room for a new English Brown Ale. The latter is full of promise. But my keezer is full. So, either the kiddies lose their root beer or I kick this IPA which is almost floating anyway.

I think I'm pushing too hard. I'm a bit toasted right now. GD thing won't kick. Gonna be a long night.

Bottle some root beer

 

[Brulosopher]

Beeeeeeeen there...

 

[dale1038]

All the time. Usually I'll bottle some up quick with the bowie bottler. That way I'll enjoy a couple a few weeks down the road.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I usually only put sessions in kegs so I can push hard to get it ready for the next session. that & pulling a handle is way too easy.

 

[Gear101]

Downing the last 1/2 of a stout and an APA to make room right now, might get some freinds over to help. CHEERS

 

[BridgewaterBrewer]

This is why I think kegging would be bad move for me. Too easy to pull the handle...

ohhhh, but it's way faster than bottling every batch. that's why I do both.

growler fill?

Yea, I'll try that. I've switched to soda now.

Yeah, my latest version of my Kentucky Common made with 05 has that "stone fruit" flavor that comes from brewing too low a temp on the yeast, especially with lower gravity beers, nothing wrong with it, I just don't like it as much as other things, and I've got a Chocolate Raspberry Belgian Porter about ready to go in the keezer, and I have my ipa on deck to brew. So I need to kill the keg, and can't seem to drink it fast enough.

Been there. Luckily I'm blessed with a friend who lives across the street who helps me with the heavy lifting. Sorry you have to go it alone.

Do you have a dog? Dogs are always willing to have at.

You know your pipeline is full when you figure you got to drink a six pack while bottling to have enough empties. Did that last week and I hope I remembered to put the sugar in but dang if I can remember it

I'll await your subsequent 'porch couch'-style ramblings later.

I wish I knew that you needed help. I just left Florida on Saturday morning to make the drive back to Chicago. My brother lives in Clearwater (don't ask where because I don't really know), and my Aunt & Uncle live in Tampa (who I was visiting for the holidays). I would have been more than willing to help you kick that keg, and any other keg that needed help.

I have thrown a couple of "kick the keg" parties to make room for the new beer. I may have to have another one in a couple of weeks to make room for the 15 gallons that I currently have carbonating.

 

[jdub1782]

I have an Octoberfest that has been going since Thanksgiving, just got half a glass of foam tonight as the keg kicked, so now I am sad .

On the bright side, now I have an open keg so I can brew again next weekend

 

[Airplanedoc]

You need some friends


I had this happen with a half barrel. I was having a party and someone insisted that We HAD to have a keg, and had one delivered to my place. We didn't come close to drinking it. So I threw it in the garage with a couple extra bags of ice. I had to have my buddies from work over for a couple days

 

[IXVolt]

I did this a week or so ago. I brewed a caramel IPA, just something I threw together. Didn't like it, had just a bit left. Tried to float the keg. But the beer tossed me over it's shoulder and laughed. Took 2 days to finish that one.

haha, yea, my IIPA won too. I quit at the right time. But now I'm burnt out on it and can't kick it. I'll see if it fits into a growler.

From "General Chit Chat" to "Drunken Mumblings" for sure! Cant wait to see it

 

[passedpawn]

Welp, I called on my neighbor and we just floated that sucker. I just put Hobgoblin keg in its place. Mission accomplished. Sorry, no porch couch / code nazi drucken rants.

I finally gave in and bottled to sixers and a handful of bombers off a keg of saison that I've had since August.. even then I hadn't killed the keg so I regretfully dumped the last gallon or two.

I don't feel sorry ever for someone who lives in Santa Rosa. No way.

I dragged the family up there in August and had a blast.

Happened with my first chocolate cherry porter keg... Poured multiple beers a night trying to kick it went i lifted it and it was light... Took about another 12 beers to kick.. Or two heavy nights of drinking

I would have let you have free reign on the keg. I like saisons infrequently and I need more space for kegs to justify keeping 5gal of one.

I floated a saison around the same time. I was glad to see it gone. Belgians need to be bottled always. New rule.

 

[BobbiLynn]

Oh, yes, I have done this, actually decided why not bottle a quart? Seal it up, see what happens. I don't think PET ever really explodes. Took me until this afternoon to finish it off.. then I could hardly get up and walk to clean it out. Took a nap after that. I will refill it tomorrow.

 

[bob1852]

Keg of IPA will not die!!! I'm battling here, but about to give up.

 

[Leadgolem]

I finally got a decent supply of bottles. Rebottled a bunch of stuff from horrible plastic bottles and mason jars. Now I have a big glass of witches brew from the leftovers of the various rebottled batches.

It's horrible, and about 14% alcohol.... I just spotted another mason jar hiding behind a box. :smack:
