Guess the Homebrew Mishap

[chudsonvt]

Nope.

Clue: It was a dry-hopped IPA and I had nothing coming out.

Your poppet or dip tube was clogged. You took it apart and forgot to put the poppet back in, then connected gas and shot beer everywhere?

Close enough! I forgot to purge CO2 when I took off the post so I had a geyser! It kept getting clogged so I pulled the dip tube and cut off the end. Problem solved, after a healthy beer shower to make me smell like a complete drunk! I probably lost close to half a gallon.

You guys should get this no problem., I was standing outside my old kegerator. With the doors closed. I sprayed myself in the face with beer. No easy feat. I'm 6'2.

You opened the door of the kegerator and the tubing got caught on something, disconnected from the tap, and sprayed on you. That would be a big big mess if that's what happened.

No mystery in this video, but it's fun to try to spot all the bad brewing ideas. I think I could find 5 mistakes / bad practices here. For example, why did I have an airlock on my starter flask? Derp.

Sorry if you've already seen this; I've posted it here before, but this thread seemed like a good place for it again.

For this thread post the most unlikely problems that you've had crop up because of home brewing and other posters will guess their source.

I'll start.

Because I home brew there is dog hair on one of my blankets. I don't own a dog. Why is their dog hair on my blanket?

Close enough. I bought a mash tun from a guy that had a dog and some dog hair was stuck in the insulation. I then wrapped the mash tun with a blanket to help insulate it during the mash and thus dog hair.

Let's keep this going, contribute your own mysterious mishap if you can.

What was the mishap?

This was my thought also!!! I am terribly disappointed. I expected carnage somewhere in this story...

Keep moving - nothing to see here!!!

Nope.. Door stayed closed I was getting ready to pour a beer, I
Here's the hunt: Just tapped the keg.

The beer shot out so hard that it reflected off the bottom of the glass and up into your face

Force carbed at 30-40 psi, still set at 30-40 psi - tried to pour a beer at 30-40 psi. Thus what ThatVideoKid said!

It was force carbed though. I had just turned on the gas.

Bonnet on top of tap shot off for some reason. Maybe you just cleaned the tap/lines? Beer shot straight out the top of the tap and doused your mood

It actually came out of the regulator

Laughed my ass off with this one. Thanks for posting. The Benny Hill music is perfect. Lol. No surprise in the major debts in the pot. Haha. And the final quote of "shoulda paid more attention" really, put me over.
