What are you drinking now?

[wobrien]

Cherry pepsi with a splash (Ok, maybe two shots) of Jack. At work.

Yea, I'm completely checked out. Saturday won't get here fast enough. Anybody have anything fun for me to google and read up on and waste away the day?

Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was like to be roasted in the depths of the Sloar in that day I can tell you...

I'm guessing 'the tap room'


For us this just came out of nowhere. I never saw the reason for that comment. I pretty much read everything on here and i did not see any of what homercidal said. Regulars here I can never see doing that and it could come off rough but its never meant to be. We are adults here and do not need to be over moderated or our hands held. Just drink and be merry!


Coffee and water. Dentist app today

There were complaints about some overly nasty comments. I get some smack talk is ok, and good natured, but if someone reports personal attacks, that is not ok. My comment was to be a reminder that this is in the open forum, and not a private 'smack talk' thread, but it didn't come across that way and I'm sorry about that. It was just a gentle reminder that we're all friends here, and we're here to talk about beer and share and not be aggressive and over the line. for the most part, everyone is usually really good about that but there were some reported posts that did show that not everyone was pleased with some of the nastiness. That's all, and it is not a problem.

Halp! Ok... first things first, I made an amazing beer for my first AG attempt. Tastes like I almost cloned Fresh Squeezed with wheat.

Now that that's out of the way, I've got the pressure set to 11... and it just dribbled out. Took a good 3 mins to get what you see here. As soon as I would open the tap, it would spurt out, then slow to a crawl. I'm using ~3.5 ft of line and a picnic tap.

Any ideas what I need to do to fix this?

It sounds like your diptube, or post/poppit, or disconnect is clogged with hops debris.

The first thing is to take off the line and picnic tap and inspect that. If you have a different set up, stick it on to see if the beer flows. If not, depressurize the keg and remove the post. Then, pull out the diptube and hold it up to the light and 'eyeball' through it. If it's clogged, clean it out and replace. Look in the post to see if hops debris is clogging the poppit. Clean it out and put it back on. If it's still clogged, take apart the black quick disconnect with a flat head screwdriver and clean that out (but that usually doesn't clog). You should be all set then, so add the pressure and pour. Let us know if that works.

Will do Yooper... there was definitely hop debris on the bottom of the QD where the poppit is depressed and upon further reading, I'm fairly certain this is the issue. There is a clog somewhere...

Gotta love this hobby... I'm at a ratio of about 5% planning, 10% execution, 85% trouble shooting.

Wow, hitting the heavy stuff I see.
Unless you meant cocoa.

Remove the quick disconnect - Insert Crazy Straw - Force air through it as hard as you can - Problem solved.

Trust me, I'm a doctor.

Hot green tea because I'm tired of water... wife gets to spend all my money tonight for her birthday. Hooray..

 

[TobyG]

I looked and its probably Slipknot. Not the biggest fan but I might get a ticket for the hell of it

I'm a little older than the average Slipknot fan, I'd wager. Besides, that's not until September. It's Def Leppard, Styx, and Tesla. More for wifey than me.

Just got home to this awesome package waiting for me! @coldcrash is now, by far, my favorite person on the planet. Well, atleast my favorite person on HBT. Or, more realistically, my favorite person that regularly posts in this thread. So, yes, out of all the people on this planet who are on HBT and regularly post in this thread and have the username coldcrash, he's my favorite.

Reported

 

[WesleyS]

Sexist!

Personal attack. Reported.

My money is on either Bucknuts or Qhrumphf as the one who reported posts. Bucknuts, because he's offended that we want him to whiz outside. Or Qhrumphf, because we don't buy this whole British act.
Or, all that cork soaking talk really struck a nerve with someone here who actually soaks corks.

Glad it arrived safely. That took forever!

Since we're acting all warm n fuzzy in here right now, I could go so far as to say you're probably in my top 5 favorite Texas HBTers in this thread.

Yeah. Top 5 probably.

The crowler is a farmhouse IPA secondaried on Muscat grapes.

Now quit your whining about a Pizza Boy glass

Ha! There is no end to my whining.
Thanks again, man. You're awesome. I will, however, be reporting you for your choice of box. I'm offended at this obvious personal attack.
