Because the pint before the 1/4 pint that gets the gas blow is the best pint in the world ever!

Bugger!
 
'Tis true :(
Happened to me tonight :cry:
But there's other cornies to tap :party:
 
No truer words were ever said. But I find lifting the cornie tends to let me know. Also their are some stickers that go down the full length of the cornie that let you know as well if / when I can find them i will post a link for them.
 
Not be to be geeky, but try an atomiser with some water and spray some on your corny.

I believe that the water should globule in larger globs (tm) on the filled portion ;)

I've seen it happen outside in the summer so p'raps it'd work.
 
LOL cheers guy's - I knew it was almost out I was just venting my frustration at the last pint being the best :lol:
 
I've noticed this too, last pint is the best, crystal clear.....then whooooosh :shock: .....GONE :x

Found it :thumb: ..... What do you guys think of smartstrip they tell the temp and fill level of kegs apparently.. for the price I think I will grab a few and see how good they are.
 
i've read mixed reviews around the web

some people swear by them, some people complain that they have to spray and wipe the indicator to reset it every time to see the reading.

i think it's a handy "quick glance" type of indicator if you get one that works all the time and doesn't need wiping with a cold wet towel to reset

i do think with practise you'll get to know how full your kegs are by just the weight though ;)
 
I'd be to ****** to be looking at any little strip on my keg so it would only serve as a reminder of how much of a **** head i was the next morning :lol:
 
I think you are all wrong . . . it is not the last pint that is the best

Small nightvision cameras which operate at low temperatures for each strip lowered into the Kegereezer - there - sorted :thumb: :P
