Midwest Brewing Supplies "Target Practice Kegs"

Postby tt3 on Fri Aug 03, 2007 12:42 pm

I stopped in this morning for a kit and they had a box of dented unusable minikegs on the front step, marked for target practice, $1.00. I had to chuckle a bit at that.

Alright then!! Sit up straight and pay attention!!!

If 5 liters of beer are going South on a train at 32 miles per hour towards East Wankershire, and a Brit is hiding in the weeds 2 miles down the track, assuming a 100% conversion of beer to pee, how big a whizz will the Brit (now out of the weeds and on the train) cut before he reaches East Wankershire??

Now then, 5 liters converts to 169.09 fluid ounces, which at 16 fluid ounces per pint, equals 10.57 pints. However, East Wankershire and the Brit are in England, where a pint is TWENTY fluid ounces, so the result is actually 8.45 British Pints, which is about typical for a Brit in a pub on Friday...

As far as the wizz goes, I'd venture that the first few would be no more than 12 US oz. (Whatever that converts to in Brit Oz, I dunno)

i could have sworn they were 5 gallon soda kegs the last time I was there.


As to my answer to the train and keg question:

I don't need a cup, just a cobra tap.
