On the brewing front I handed everything over to SWMBO on 7th April. As far as I am aware:
- "There was a hissing sound when I unscrewed the jubilee clip; but it has stopped now." It will have stopped because the CO2 bottle is empty so "Bye bye!" to 20 litres of bitter in 2 x 10 litre growlers. BTW, the tubing has quick release connections and there is never any need to undo a jubilee clip.
- "I tried to pull you a pint off the big white keg you have. It started 'glugging' so I left it." "Bye bye!" to about 15 litres of Lager in the KK Top Tap PB. With air running back into it I've given up.
- There is 23 litres of Lager still "Cold Crashing" in the Brew Fridge. It's been there since I dropped the temperature down to 10*C on 31st March (shortly before my periprosthetic fracture) so I presume that by now it is ruined!
My sympathies with the breaks, it can't be fun - but if you're going to do it, I guess you might as well do it when you can't get out and about anyway!
I think you're being way too pessimistic on the beer though - a few weeks at 10°C sounds like perfect lagering conditions to me. And even with the others, I'd check them out before binning them.
