Well, it's been a tough week in my little homebrew world 
.
On Saturday after a long, hot day working in the yard I went to pull a pint from my keezer and it was not as cold as it should be. I have it set at 44F, and this was warmer than it should be. The freezer is about 6 years old. I unplugged it, pulled the three kegs out and put them in my lager fridge (which doubles as the overflow fridge for food and milk) hoping that maybe the coils were just frozen. Well by Sunday afternoon it was clear that my keezer had chilled it's last keg.
So I am scouring craiglist for a used fridge or freezer. But in the meantime I have 4 kegs in my spare fridge; two lagers that are lagering, and two IPA's that I am drinking. And, hey, I gotta have my beer, right??? So I slapped a picnic tap on one of the IPAs which will work just fine until I can get a new keg fridge or keezer.
But it gets worse....this morning I step into my garage to go to work and there is a stream of liquid running from the fridge towards the garage doors. I opened the fridge to discover there is a bad seal on the picnic tap and 3 gallons of a 5 gallon IPA have leaked out all over the fridge and out onto the floor . Oh the tragedy.
I am trying to look on the bright side.....at least I can brew this weekend. But man, this stinks.
