Having BOTH your kegs kick!

Yep, it happened again. Was filling a few bottles to take to a homebrewclub meeting and a couple bottles to give to a girl at work and BAM, the Scottish /70 foams out!

Switch back to the blonde to fill the leftover bottles I had sanitized and BAM! THAT one foams out!

The only saving grace is that I've been wanting to get a cinnamon mead in a keg for chilling and carbing, so I guess I have that opportunity now...

I think my next brew day should be about 3 batches! I only wish I could find a day to brew.
 
What's worse? Emptying your kegs and finding that the beer you were going to keg today has an infection and has to be thrown out!

It's never happened to me but I think it would make me cry.
 
Slowly blowing kegs one at a time until.....there's no more beer......I'm getting ready to move across the country, and I'm going to have to totally restart my pipeline in a town with no LHBS :( ALthough I do have 4 beers lined up to brew for the first week or two after I get unpacked :)
 
Not having a kegerator.

Cheers.

Well, ok, that's worse, but not as worse as AIDS...

One other saving grace is that I have some bottles stashed away. I just don't think they will last the 2-3 weeks it will take for me to get another beer in a keg. If I do a Belgian Wit I can rush it and burst carb it.
 
I'm expecting that to be happening to me soon. Including my next batch, three batches in a row will be going somewhere besides my taps. One is for my son (22) to take back to college, the other two for festivals our club is participating in.

All three kegs currently on tap are getting low and I only have one waiting to be put on.

I was prepared and anxious for the scottish to finish. It was an ok beer, but I don't think I want another 5 gallons of weak, malty beer. I was wanting the mead to get carbed.

I just didn't think I drank that much of the blonde already!

Is your son going to Michigan State, or are you an alumni? My daughter is transferring there this fall. (Very soon!)
 
Going into your basement to your keezer to get some beer, pull the tap handle, no beer comes out, so you open the lid of the keezer and A HUNDRED RATTLESNAKES ARE IN THERE!

That would be worse.

LOL, we are sharing a vulcan mind meld.

You stole my thunder, but........

I was gonna say:

"You are thinking about going to your keezer, when the 3000 alien eggs in your skull hatch, exploding your head in a big gloppy mess!"

:D

My wife and I are alumni. My son attends the Missouri University of Science and Technology. He was interested in State but the out-of-state tuition was too much. One semester to go and then he graduates with a degree in Geological Engineering.

Your daughter will love State!

Go Green!
 
How about not brewing for the past year and a half, moving, remodeling an entire home and now have to build a new brewery from scratch. That could be worse, but also exciting at the same time.

It's good to be back on here and hope to start brewing in the next few months. :mug:
 
You mean this kind?

Looks like Sunday is the day! I have to replace the axle joints in the Jeep and the pressure hose on the power steering, and the front speakers (optional) between tonight and tomorrow and then I am ALL SET to brew!

I think Belgian Wit for starters, but I also need a second beer, so I'm thinking about a Pale Ale. I have a plan for a Supernatural themed beer called the 67 ImPaleAle (Dean's 67 Impala).
 
I know that feel. Just got back form a vacation last week and i have almost no homebrew. got a couple 22oz bottles of my IPA and DIPA.

I bottled my IPA and DIPA (whatever was left in the kegs). then i kegged a blonde ale and a pale ale and i took both of those and most of the bottles to the beach house where we were having a family reunion. came back both kegs kicked and all bottles gone.

hopefully i can make a batch this weekend.

Brewing the greatest beer ever that tons of pros have told you is the greatest beer ever, but you didn't write down the recipe, so you can't share what it was/is and you'll never be able to reproduce it but you still want to tell everyone on the internet how great it was?
