All revved up to fill my my first keg!
My keezer build is not finished so I had to rig up individual gas & beer lines to run sanitizer through the dip tube/out port. After getting the keg sanitized, I pulled the fermenter out of the chamber, filled the keg and put it on about 13 psi of CO2 and stuck it in my beer frig until I can complete the keezer. WOO HOO! My first keg!!!
I had fermented a 6.5 gal batch of KingBrian1's Caramel Amber Ale so I had about 1.5 gal still in the fermenter that I planned to bottle. So I pulled out the bottling stuff and bottled (15) 12 oz bottles out of the left overs. Cool!
Got everything cleaned up. Sat down in front of the boob tube to watch a movie and drink a beer or three. My wife said she was tired and was going to bed. Then she asked the question that would shatter my night. "What are you going to do with that sugar stuff you told me not to knock over?" ............. At first I sat in stunned silence... Then I started cussing like a sailor. Yep, I forgot to mix in the priming sugar. Man, it was such a good day up to that point. :smack:
Spent the rest of the night pulling the bottling stuff back out, opening each bottle and trying to pour it gently down the side of the bottling bucket. Then, MIXED IN THE PRIMING SUGAR and re-bottled the 1.5 gal batch.
Thought you would enjoy a good laugh.
Cheers!
