Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Ok, so I've done some dumb things in my life, but today really takes the biscuit. I'd got 40pts of Ditch's to go in the barrel and everything started off OK- filled the barrel with sterilizer, put all the bits and bobs in the barrel and left it for 20 mins. Then I took everything out of the barrel, ready for rinsing and went to pour the sterilizer down the loo. As I was tipping it out, I caught a glimpse of something white disappearing round the u-bend- yes, my keg tap was now on it's way to the local sewage plant. A few hours and much swearing later, I now have 40 BOTTLES of Ditch's stout.

A well stocked spares bin is a thing of wonder at times like that.

This is just f**king terrible! I have a complete keg tap unit, 'Cluttering Up' a corner of my work surface out there!

I said to someone, just the other night: " There will come a time when we'll be able to 'email' solid objects to each other. "

Meanwhile? Best I can suggest it to pour a bottle and then walk away for a bit. Let it lose that Fizz :(

Aren't you lucky you had the bottles pal?Otherwise you'd be having your few scoops literally i.e. ladle from the bucket.

#-o Damn! Actually, he could have simply done what I do: Stick a syphon tube, with a tap on it, in there and away ye go. My stuff's literally 'On Tap' :wink:

Cheers lads. I can sort of see the funny side of it now. The other half was trying to keep a straight face when I told her. Besides, at least I still have the beer, which is the most important thing.
