Tip of the day

[Jonnyv]

When finishing off a cornie and opening it to clean it - don't look into the keg, see the sediment at the bottom and think, "I wonder what that smells like" and take a big sniff... of CO2.

 

[Aleman]

Having purged a keg with CO2, do not attach a black disconnect to your syphon tube, and then a grey disconnect and suck on the grey disconnect to start the syphon. . . . . . It takes about three big sucks to make me hit the floor

 

[Vossy1]

:rofl: ...I like this JV

Don't rely on the smell of super heated metal to remind you to turn your kettle elements off

 

[steve_flack]

1. Don't overfill corni kegs so the gas in dip tube is covered, pressurise them then attach them to an unpressurised gas line....not unless you really like cleaning out your gas manifold.

2. Remember gravity is not necessarily your friend.

3. Hot water is hot.

Don't chance any of your hard earned money on my horse tips :rofl:
I thought i'd get that in before one of you guys :lol:

 

[Oggys Bar]

1. Don't store your kettle leads in your HLT after use......especially if it is above eye level and connected to a filling tap

2. Remember where your mash tun manifold is...before you put grain in the tun :)

3. Remember where your Hop filter is before you transfer the wort from the mash-tun :lol:

4. Don't take your beer supply pipe off your beer font/ beer engine while it is still connected to a pressurised corny :rofl:

Probably more to follow.

put your hydrometer in your fermenter bucket AFTER frantically aerating the wort!

if you forget that, then make sure your arm is santised BEFORE diving in the wort to fetch the broken pieces

i'm so ashamed of my stupidity

:rofl:

while carefully maneuvering yourself around your small brewing space crammed with demijohns, bottles and fermenting bins check that the space you are not gently lowering yourself into is not occupied by your hydrometer

the old gags are the best, somewhere i have a knob joke too, probably best to keep my pants on tho!

Don't think you can drink 39 drinks just because it's your 39th birthday.

Don't, whilst drunk, wonder why your black beer out post won't fit and give it a tap with a hammer when your trying it on the 'in' side of the cornie.

Don't after dropping a cigarette, automatically presume that you've picked it up the right way round and stick the lit end in your mouth.

Don't think you can breathe off the air blowing jets in your spa whilst drunk and have a good 'breathe' from a water jet. Coughing water out of your nose isn't particularly nice.

Don't think you are Rocky and release a chicken into the garden thinking your 'greasy fast' enough to then catch it when drunk.

Don't pick a nice fresh salad from the garden when your drunk. You may find it includes leaves from your tomato plant which are not nice.

Do not tell people that you only put ingredients into your beer that you are prepared to eat raw. Because when you are drunk you may eat some hops, yeast, irish moss and grains.


OR
Get really really drunk and do all of the above in one evening. :lol:

When you went to A&E to get it removed, were the nurses serious or didn't they understand the gravity of the situation?

:clap: Quote of the year

 

[Buzz]

Having switched both elements on to get the wort to the boil, don't wander off into another room to answer a ringing phone. (if, of course, your boiler is a small one like mine)

My tip of yesterday:
Don't think that getting your mash on early before the missus wakes up will ensure a smooth, stress-free brewday
