Whaddaya mean "too cold"? Did it freeze solid? That leads to some interesting questions... What happens to homebrew if you freeze it? Does any water that freezes out mix back in or does it float on top? If you pull a few pints off while there's frozen water at the top of the keg, how does it affect the taste? Does a solid ice cap expand enough to damage the keg?

:eek:

uh oh ToneyC is panicking. breathe man! breathe!

edit- I am not sure of this but it would be highly doubtfull that the pressure of teh water freezing would be enough to damage the keg. Those kegs are rated pretty kigh, seems to me like it would blow a gasket first.

It was just a bit of ice int he valves. ;)


Luckily our house isn't so well insulated that our garage normally get cold enought to freeze.
