Help me solve a mystery!

You're not in Japan, are you?

Not quite the 'teenager' thing, but close: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/24889337/ns/world_news-weird_news/t/homeless-woman-lived-mans-closet-year/

Ok here are some follow up. No kids, wife not mad, she didn't drink it. Lines not reversed and nothing in either the keg or co2 tank. Only sign of the beer at all was a lot of dried foam on the gas in connector and about a cup of beer in the bottom of kegerator. It's located in the living room on carpet. Carpet is not wet.......

Did you smell the carpet?

Could it have soaked into a large enough area that it's already dried out?

Seems unlikely though.

 

[BigJack]

smell the carpet

Sorry for getting off topic, but this would be a great band name.

Ok, that right there is suspicious, do you have a dog?

Cue twilite zone theme song...

So let's start from the beginning. What was the beer style and how close did you hit your numbers?

 

[Psylocide]

Too much corn sugar + low mash temp probably, dried it right out.

Now that is technical!

 

[Rhumbline]

Poor temperature control, it evaporated.

So let's start from the beginning. What was the beer style and how close did you hit your numbers?

DIPA, 1.082 - 1.017, target 1.080 - 1.016. All late hops, Vinnie Special, citra, and Azacca. It was a great beer for a non-IPA drinker like me!

This.

 

[ChefRex]

You put the wrong keg in, what you thought was a nice IPA was indeed starsan, since you are not a IPA drinker you could not tell the difference, check your other kegs, one is full

If there is some beer in the bottom of the keggerator, then maybe the rest is inside the actual keggerator housing!?! Soaked into insulation and puddle in the base? That would suck. I would imagine the keggerator would never be the same!

Chudsonvt I think you called it. Went back and examined the kegerator (see pic) and there seems to be beer in the bottom insulation! So loose co2 connector, beer turns to foam and pushes out, returns to liquid and flows out at the corner, liquiheasion pulls it into the gap where it's absorbed by the insulation. Thank god I don't have gnomes!

You live next to a homeless shelter and keep your windows unlocked?

 

[rappell]

Thanks to everyone for your thought provoking and humorous comments!

 

[TechyDork]

dang.

 

[PlexVector]

The next obvious question is "how do we rescue the irreplaceable DIPA"

 

[day_trippr]

I would think the question is can that kegerator be saved...

Cheers!

 

[Rhumbline]

If he squeezes the kegerator, will it release tannins?

 

[brew_ny]

this gets my vote

 

[rappell]

Seems like it's mostly dried out. It's working fine.

Well, there's yer problem.

It would almost be better if the neighbors snuck in and drank it all.

You win squat and like it, it's the price of omission

It's going to be interesting to see what happens to a kegerator that has absorbed five gallons of beer...

Cheers! (hopefully it's out in the garage )

Could become a delicious sour culture.
