I left my keg under pressure to carbonate, at about 20 pounds, and I came home today to see it had all leaked out of the picnic tap. At least it was contained. I guess I shouldn't leave the tap on the keg when not in use. The tank was empty too. It was also hot outside where the keg was and maybe that had something to do with it.
If I didn't have water in the jumbo cooler already, I'd still have the beer to drink. But now they're mixed together and it is a total loss. The worst part is that now that it's hot, like 95 today, I can't make another batch as I have no way to keep it cool for fermentation.
Maybe I'll have to talk my wife into the new fridge so I can use the old one for beer, both fermentation and cold storage. It has been on our list of things to buy.
