My 5 pounder tank went empty a few months ago and I was waiting until my 20 pounder blew before getting both of them filled.
Well last week the 20 #er finally went ffffft and then nothing. So I brought them both up to be filled. Turns out the 5 pounder had to be recertified.
Very good. I still had a 5 and 20 #er as backups. While waiting for the fill and recert, my other 5 #er went empty. Seems like the keg I tapped
last week had a leaky relief valve and drained a tank that should last me nearly a year. So after cursing ( just a little ) I brought the other tank up to be filled.

That fucking tank has to be re-certified also and to make matters worse, their testing equipment is broken and neither tank will be ready for a while.
So I had to remove one keg from my kegerator and replace it with the 20 #er so I can have a beer on tap. Now just have to wait until the frigging
thing carb's up....
The trials I have to go through to have good beer........

I feel your pain. Nothing sucks worse than peeing all of your CO2 away and I'm a few hundred km's away from getting a fill up!

Ouch, that really sucks Tony! It sounds like a great time to send you some Yippee!

All is not lost, I have an APA on gas now that should be carb'd up enough to drink tonight, not that I couldn't anyway.....

In any case, I will be off to Yellow Belly tonight to meet up with Cornelius Alphonse for a pint, and to pick up my Brewnoser tee shirts.

Leaks suck. I lost a few jacpac tanks before I discovered the problem.

One of my kegs is leaking as well, it's not currently on the line though. I've burned through 2.5 5# tanks since last summer and I've probably only had 5-6 kegs of beer. I finally spotted the issue mid-winter. That really sucks though, especially to have them all needing hydro testing at the same time.
