Pretty sure that is exactly what scoob said to do. Didn't work. And since this keg has been carbing in the basement at 40 psi it started to foam as soon as I took the lid off. Then really went foamy when I dropped the bag of oak chips in it. Bad news.

just tie it to the small post on the inside of the keg lid. gotta tie super tight though

i use cotton thread and tie it to the beer out diptube.

I ended up tossing the keg into the bath tub, throwing a towel over the lid and pulling the pressure relief. Beer foam everywhere. Got the lid off, crammed the line in the keg, fighting the foam all the way and finally getting the keg sealed again. If this doesn't get infected it will be purely because of the alcohol in the beer.

Not fishing line, waxed dental floss! Fishing line will never work, it's too thick!

Oh.

if you're going to do that, use the gas in port and vent the air reaaaaally slowly.

You lube the o-rings up nice and good right?

Just like a balloon knot

It was pretty much foaming like hell at this point. Venting slowly didn't matter.

And why did you carb the keg first again????,

Kinda like when the stewardess backed into the propeller .....

Because I thought about the oak/bourbon after I had the keg on gas. And it would have been a non issue if it had sealed.

Dental floss or thread, never had a seal issue, but I also have new seals in all my kegs

2 lb mono is thinner than any dental floss i have ever seen. floss is around 6 lb size. still, even with brand new seals, i don't get an airtight seal. that's why i have tied to something inside the keg and not worried about it.

about 1/2 the floss i've used is flat, so it would likely form a good seal.

Pics? You should have taken pics of this.

I did not. Next time I'll have the wife snap a couple off.
