Pressure barrel nightmare stories

[labrewski]

Just emptied my first pb another one in the fridge and another conditioning
Got me thinking what's the worst can happen
I wasnt happy with level of carbonation I had recently
so I put in 125g sugar in one tonight to start carbing
Time bomb????
Any other awful stories any one would like to share lol

Hi Labrewski, thats a lot of sugar for a pb i once did 100g and got foam, i think most people use them for more traditional ales english bitters and the like, if you want more fizz it's bottles or corny kegs, i don't think you will blow it up it should vent if it gets to much presser, let us know how you go on i have 4 pb's

Ooops thought I chance my arm thought pb was an easy way to avoid the seriousness of kegging
Looks like I get used to flat beer or just go ahead and seek Cornelius keggasus
And obey the master
Lol
