Ok, so I cleaned out a pig and eventually got the beer in it (in foamed a bit so I filled in stages), plopped in my pouch the right direction and sealed that bad boy up. Now, I was at a problem I have faced before. How do I activate the pouch? In the past I have let the beer warm up, causing the pouch to activate due to the naturally increasing pressure. This time I tried something new. LOL, it was very difficult. I simply put a knee on the thing and gave it a quick hard push. Viola! Success with the sound of a little pop and then the pouch moving around inside. I will do it this way next time... which is today... the next day after filling this last pig. Here's the reason why I have a pig problem! Somehow, while cleaning and filling the pig I forgot to put in one very important piece of the equation. There is a piece that fits inside the tap assembly, which makes the beer enter a tiny hole and then corkscrew around before exiting the pig. Yep, left that part back in the sanitizer bucket.... So, essentially I just made myself a beer rocket!
Ok, now comes my question to you guys. Can I save this pig? Should the same hold true as a tap assembly, and would a 7ft length of beer tubing stuck in the pour spout get me less projectile beer? I'm at a loss for what I can do at this point. It's a pig, not a keg so I can't just depressurize and do something with the beer. Its all coming out!!! Violently!!! Some advice please? I'm thinking of using it in cooking at this point. Maybe Barracho beans???
So, respond with helpful advice... or a good kick to the nutts. LOL
