how to spill 2 gallons of beer without even trying...

[HomeBrewerDude]

i kegged up a batch of beer, put the keg under pressure to initiate carbonation and discovered a great way to spill a couple of gallons of brew.

i have analyzed the problem and determined that prior exposure to heat (i ran the assembly through the dishwasher) caused the vinyl tubing to expand slightly, reducing the amount of force needed to blow the thingiemagig off the doowhacky.

diagram for your edification

Here all you have to do is set it down and it will slide away from you.

I don't understand what this is about but if you hurt beer I'm sad.

thats one thing thats kind of weird... all of my fauces have clamps except that one....i didn't notice this when I took it apart or put it back together.

a blonde. the beer is rather lacking IMO so I suppose I am not really that upset about seeing some of it go away. At best, its a lawn mowing beer, if that makes any sense.

At that velocity I don't think it would just spill out like it does in the diagram.
