If I don't put a lid on my beers they just disappear. Almost Darwin weather here ATM, even tried to rain a few times today but gave up after 4 drops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Keg hopped pale just blew. The third pale can’t be too far off. Man I need to brew again. Whoop whoop. Think I might do another Nevermind, The Buzzcocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 My Vienna Lager just blew. It was meant to lager until late February All I have left is my Citrillo Pale ale and that must be in the bottom half of the keg. Maybe I should go back to work so I stop drinking so much ha ha ha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely overrated but I have had 10 of the last 12 weeks off and my holiday pay is atrocious so I need to go back and earn some money. Unfortunately my annual leave pay is much worse than my normal pay so I get paid less which blows..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 My holiday pay is less too because I work broken shifts, but if I was doing normal shifts then it would be higher due to the leave loading. In any case, holidays always result in a home brew drought, but maybe next time it won't since I'll have two fermenters going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 No, same 5 weeks as the rest of them. We do get paid for more hours than we work though. I usually get paid for 50+ hours a week but only work around 40. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I had the spluttering as I turned the tap off. Farewell Orange XPA. I think we will meet again 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 What are the odds!!! I go to pull my last beer for the night from my pale ale on tap. Half way she blows. I go to the other side with the other pale ale and get to the top and she blows too. Heres to the half half. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer Baron Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 My el dorado pale ale just blew. That’s great timing considering tomorrow is day 1 of my dry July. Luckily I have my Black IPA on tap to enjoy for the rest of the day. It is such a great beer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Soda water ran out last night after pouring one glass from it. Bloody annoying. I'll refill it soon so it's ready again tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerlust Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 The keg I had with an average brew on the pour just blew. What a shame, I'll just have to start drinking the delicious DIY Chubby Cherub/LCPA clone beer in the other keg. I know, life is tough, but we must endure. Cheers & good brewing, Lusty. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Disappointed last night when the leftovers pale ale blew. It was a nice brew. It did get hit pretty hard last weekend though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red devil 44 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Always have 2 or 3 kegs spare, and always one gassed up just in case of that scenario, I was taught the 6 P,s when I was an apprentice.

Hilltop hops Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Last pour of my Kveik Hazy this arvo, was one of the best I've made and will probably brew again next week. Other keg feels very light. Might be time for a single malt. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 My 2 experiment kegs, (Real ale, LDME, mosaic 10m boil, cascade tea) both blew - the gas one 2 days ago the primed one last night. They turned into very nice beers, surprisingly good to me because almost since the beginning I have been playing with recipes. These were pretty much my first 'plain' K&K beers. At the start of their brief lives I thought, "THIS is why I do partials" but after 4 weeks in the fridge they had excellent flavour and creamy head. If things get tight I'll just make sure I have those cans and LDME in stock and I'll be OK. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Bummer, my Belgian Chocolate Stout ROTM keg blew last night. Never fear, though. I have another half keg of it. Quick sanitise of the out post and the beer disconnect. All plugged back in and cooling and fast-carbing. This was the one that had a Final Gravity of 1.025. I had made 25 litres of the stuff, intending to bottle a few for ageing. However, with that FG, bottling was too big of a risk. So my solution was to half fill two kegs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
