PSA: Dry hopping while priming

[commonlaw]

Had an ounce or so of hops in a keg that I also primed with sugar. 3 weeks later (a bit long on the dry hop, but I'm busy) I go to take the hops out (haven't gotten around to putting this beer on tap yet) and it took forever to get the lid off. Venting took forever and never released all the pressure. Pushing down on the lid resulted in a beer fountain. In the end I got the top off and the hops out, but you may want to reconsider dry hopping in the keg at the same time you naturally prime.

Well, I leave the hops in there. If you don't open it, there won't be a fountain!
