Should have known better from the start.
I had to be out of town for a little over a week right when I would have normal cold crashed my beer. Since I wasn’t here to fiddle with the CO2 to keep from oxidizing, I just let it sit at 68 degrees the whole time. I was hoping that given enough time the hops would settle. Wrong.
Start my pressurized transfer and flow immediately stops. I coax it into flowing once or twice, but eventually it’s evident my dip tube I clogged with less than a gallon of beer in the keg. Remove the dip tube and clean it ... it was clogged, reassemble and start again. But nope ... clogged again. Screw it, I’ve already lost my CO2 purged environment, just take off the lid and fill from the top. Flowed 5 gallons of sure to be oxidized goodness into the keg. If it isn’t oxidized now, it will be by the time I have to clean my dip tube with the fill of every pint.
What a great way to come back home from a shitty trip.
