Yesterday I removed my keezer lid to paint it with chalkboard paint. While that was drying i decided to remove all of my kegs and drag the keezer outside to hose it out.
When I finished with that I brought it back inside, put the lid on, reassembled the gas manifold, yada yada yada. I plug it back in and go run some errands. I come back home, cook dinner, and go to grab a pint of chocolate cherry stout.... nothing. WTF??? I open the lid to see if I forgot to turn the gas on. It's on, but everything inside is FROZEN! I had plugged the freezer directly into the extension cord, rather than into the temp controller. FUUUUUUUU!!!!!
I fix my mistake, shake the kegs (English PA sounds frozen solid, stout sounds kind of slushy). I try pushing some stout through with a higher PSI but its a no go, the lines are frozen solid. I unplug it and leave it for the morning.
Today I go in and the ground is a little wet... "Hmm, must have been a lot of moisture from the thawing freezer. I open the lid and check that the lines have thawed, they have. I then grab a cup to check the stout (not to drink a pint, just to make sure it survived the ordeal)......... I had never closed the tap faucet from the night before.
I shake the keg, it's as empty as a hooker's heart.
