Man, it was a great day! It took almost all day but I stripped Pub Phun of every single beer line and beer tap, co2 manifold and all, and spent the whole day cleaning and recirculating beer line cleaner through it all… I don’t do this often enough and man, the gunk can build up.
So I just got done, reinstalled everything, lines look like brand new! I plug in the lines, plug in the co2 lines, turn it all on, close the bar top. A GREAT day! Feels great to be clean.
Then I noticed all the beer shooting straight at my wall!
Could be worse. My buddy texted me the other day. He came home from out of town to find 4 out of 5 gallons had leaked from his secondary. He didn’t tighten down the spigot in the bucket good enough. He ferments in a wine fridge in his living room. He was so pissed he trashed the rest of it. I said, “Dude! That was still a gallon! And some yeast you could have saved!”
Man, the day never ends! So here it is, roughly 7 or so hours after my original post here… Almost ready for bed. So I go and get a small tap of my Janet’s brown just to make sure everything is cool you know after all the cleaning… Nothing… I mean not a drop. I open the bar, all is well. Everything is hooked up just fine to the keg and co2 turned on… Close the bar, pull, and still nothing.
Then I see the thermocouple for my controller hanging outside of the kegerator on the floor just where I left it this morning! I never placed it back into the kegerator!
