I finished my keezer today after spending 3 weeks working on it and had a keg ready to go to put in it. I forced carbonated a few days earlier and was eager to get started.

I put my keg into the keezer and everything ran great except the carbonation was low. I figured it would increase in a couple days after being on a constant pressure but had a couple glasses to try it out. The faucets worked great, the temperature was perfect...all in all everything was going smoothly.

Before I went to bed, I decided to check on it and when I opened the keezer...BAM! All 4.75 gals left were on the floor on the keezer. I saw bubbling from the MFL fitting on the beer side and realized I didn't tighten the attachment further than hand tighten.

I have a nice cleanup tomorrow and I'm out of beer for the next week while my batch is done fermenting.

Anyone else have this happen with MFL fittings?
