oh **** lesson learned

[DaSocialGuy]

So it's a homebrew wednesday, a day that I bottle my beer. All things are normal, I rack my beer into the bucket while talking to my wife when all of a suden I have to pee! There's this weird noise I hear (**** I forgot to close the sipkit). I lost 7 12 oz bottles of beer. Please folks triple check your sipkits.
This is a good lesson learned.

Are you trying to say "spigot"?

WTF is a sipkit?

Nevermind, I just Googled it: A SIP KIT is a house kit in a box (container).

Is lesson 2 don't drink too much home brew while working with beer?

WTF does a pre-fab house have to do with bottling beer? I go back to your first question- Is he trying to say spigot? Methinks there was waaaay too much homebrew consumption involved with this bottling session......

 

[kapbrew13]

Sipkit = spikit = spigot? I like this game.

 

[hwilshusen]

Depends are your friend.

 

[Homercidal]

Sip Kit.

Every brewer needs one!

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Maybe he was on his phone and the autocorrect did him in?

 

[Jayhem]

LOL @ this thread.

I admit to filling my bottling bucket with my "SipKit" left open.



When a puddle formed "Oh ****!" then close the spikit!

 

[TopherM]

When you leave your spigot on and spill beer all over the floor, you then have to use your sipkit (a.k.a., bendy straw) to drink it all up off the floor! :fro:

 

[cheezydemon3]

Jesus christ you guys are ********!


The only WTF here should be at all of the ass hats that made fun of a guy's spelling instead of commiserating with him.

so WTF??????


I too have racked into a bucket with an open thingy. Effing SUCKS!!!!

I don't think giving someone a hard time about some incorrect spelling labels everyone as ********.

Yes, male comradery can sometimes seem cruel, but its what seperates men from sissys.

 

[Revvy]

Yeah, I'm a member of this club, few times as well.

I even have color coded the open side of my spigot handle with a paint pen, and I STILL manage not to confirm whether it's opened or closed.

Sorry dude, it sucks.

Lol, well played sir! But standing up for the OP (who by now could be considered MIA, unless I am mistaken) is hardly sissy work.

Now a simple "Doh! that was dumb!" would have been comeraderie.

Went a little far!

 

[Homercidal]

Personally I have never left my spigot open. (I HAVE left my sipkit open twice now.) I've never broken my hydrometer either.

Easy there, big fella. It is all in fun. Seems like you forgot your Prozac today, better double up.

Pray tell, what happened when the "house in a box" was left open? did the house get out and run amok?

I always thought the text/internet geniuses should have come up with a sarcasm font .

FWIW, I too have not only left my spigot open when bottling more than once, I have left my kettle ball valve open when adding strike water to heat, among many other ball valve related SNAFU's while using my pump and MLT, lol.

Shìt happens.

Cheers!

 

[TopherM]

I hear "house in a box" and instantly think BREWSHED! I swear upon the grave of someone else's favorite uncle that if I ever do build a brewshed, I shall name it SIPKIT, complete with a placard over the door. Hell, SIPKIT BREWERY even has a nice ring to it.

I can hear it now:

"SWMBO, I'm out in SIPKIT watching the game if you need me!!"

BTW, I left my spigot open for about 5 seconds just this past SATURDAY afternoon, spilling about a 1/2 gallon of cooled Hefeweizen wort all over the floor. I figure if you're in the club, you get to join in the ribbing!

 

[Jayhem]

:rockin: Thanks for greatly adding to the entertainment value of this thread, cheezydemon3! hahaha. Love it.

Also, if I were the OP I would absolutely name this beer "SipKit Ale"!

When we men get together and laugh we are usually laughing at the jokes and pokes made at each other.

When women get together they laugh about jokes and pokes made toward other female friend's who are NOT present!

The irony here is the "sissys" part.

 

[TopherM]

LOL....

Comradery?
Its?
Seperates?
Sissys?

It's camaraderie that separates sissies from sipkits!!

 

[Jayhem]

If I were drinking homebrew it would be dripping down my monitor... lol.

Lol. This was on purpose. Right? Heet? Before the Proof read in caps line.

Actually, camradery is an alternate spelling for the French word camaraderie.

Yes, you got me, I spelled separate wrong, and damned if I forgot the effing apostrophe.

I should have said pussies.

All nice catches!

 

[william_shakes_beer]

No no no a sip kit is an adapter that permits refilling of juice boxes so toddlers can drink beer. Only legal in europe

Next?

 

[Homercidal]

I thought the sipkit was what you use to modify your windshield washer to pump schnapps to the passenger compartment...

Aren't you the one whose thread on bottling beer is stickied in the other forum? I only know b/c I read it and followed your advice and don't have problems with spigots due to using a pressure release valve thingy like at the end of the hand transfer pumps. It is a good idea regardless of whose it is.

Also, alternative spelling = sbigots.

 

[ACbrewer]

should the **** in the title be read as 'sipkit'?

 

[cheezydemon3]

.........................HAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHA....Awesomeness!

 

[HibsMax]

I love my bottling wand.

 

[cheezydemon3]

I love my bottling wand.

You're sick.

 

[PhelanKA7]

I was brewing with a friend a little while back and he had left the ball valve open on his MLT. That was... embarassing.

I've left the ball valve open on the brew kettle when transferring from the MLT. Lost a couple of gallons. That sucked.

Best beer I ever brewed...... of course.

 

[AdamPag]

SO MUCH TROLL!!!!!

Ive never done that with beer, but I HAVE done it with sanitizer, a few times. And yes... where is your bottling wand exactly? Is it with your uh.... sipkit?

 

[cheezydemon3]

so much troll!!!!!

where?!!!!???!!??????!

 

[Knittycat]

In the dungeon of course!
