Popping A Keg

[sah]

What do you call that gawd aweful noise when you are part way through filling your glass from a keg when the smooth silent flow of nectar is replaced by a stream of CO2 and that unmistakeable noise tells you you've just drawn the last from that keg?

At my place it is always proceeded with "Awww no, I"ve popped it!"

What happens at your bar?

Cheers

Hi sah,

think positive !

when the tab starts farting, I'm glad, may brew the next batch of beer very soon

btw: works only if I can immediatley switch the tab to another (full) keg :beerbang:

Usually swearing, as it usually happens straight after I've got home and I'm having the first pint of the night. Almost always happens also after having a ****** day.
This is contary to when it is late at night, and I'm having just one more pint to empty the keg so I can refil the keg the next night and the bloody thing won't run dry.

The worst was late last week, the beer was flowing a little slow. Put a bunch more gas into the keg and only got about 100ml before it blew. #()$(@#*&$(@#&*($#&*

I find that if I ask my Dad how the keg is going in his fridge, I get a phone call later that night to say it's gone. Generally it's the first beer on a long day that coughs & splutters.
We used to have magic kegs at the shop. This is caused by drinking middies with a generous head. The keg lasts heaps longer than you expect. Then you get over confident & say something like "this beer is great, I reckon I can have one more "
That will stuff you every time!

The neighbour hood usually hears me yell

"Aww Piss off.......your bloody jokin', She's blowin' froth"

Then deniel sets in.....

"naaa it cant be empty"

So you have a nother go......

PSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH Gurgle Gurgle Gurgle.

Then you have to clean the frothed beer off the front of the fridge which is a real punch in the guts.

Thats why i keep a few longnecks in the fridge at all times.

And yeah, its usually the first beer after a long hot day.

Thats why i want 3 kegs, so if one is empty, the probability of the other 2 having enough in them to wet my lungs is higher

But that probability rating gets lower and lower depending on how your day went and how bad you want a beer

cheers
