This past weekend I was kegging up a german pilsner for lagering so that I could free up my fermentation fridge. I store my kegs pressurized with star san. To remove the star san without pouring it out I used a jumper hose to transfer it from one keg to another by just releasing the pressure valve on the receiving end. Here is where the problem started. I had two kegs sitting next to each other, unmarked. When I went to transfer the pilsner I didnt bother checking which keg had the star san and surely enough transferred the beer straight into the sanitizer. I only realized it when I grabbed the other keg and didnt feel any sloshing. I almost cried a little upon realization. Hopefully it wont taste too soapy.
