I think they mistranslated "sucks" with "leckt" (meaning "licks" but could also mean "leaks", not sure about that) instead of "saugt". It's kind of an inside joke in some german subreddits to make literal translations that don't necessarily make sense, but "saugen/saugt" in the meaning of "this sucks" actually made it into german slang to some degree. But maybe I'm just not up to snuff on the latest customs, that could absolutely be in the realm of possibilties.

When this happens all you do is stick a new triclamp and OPEN valve on there. Then close the new valve. Problem solved. These people were lucky that was a small tank if they have never experienced this before

u/WhtSqurlPrnc Jan 28 '23
There is way too much pressure to put a valve on, while it’s shooting out of that tank. This happened at a winery I worked at, someone took off a racking valve to a full tank. You should try to block it with something, and catch as much as you can in a sump of some kind, then pump it to another tank. Easier said than done though.
56
u/Frankalicious47 Jan 28 '23
No, like the commenter above said you put an OPEN valve on, and then after you’ve secured the clamp you close it. Pretty common knowledge. You can’t collect that, and once’s it’s out of the tank you can’t salvage it. That would be unsanitary and ruin the quality

We call it a wet cut. Because well you get soaked doing it.
Put a open valve on. tighten it or let the water proof glue dry (if its a pvc material) Once its tightened or the glue has dried you can shut the valve.
I read below you still dont quite understand how it works.
Because the valve that we put on is open there is no "pressure" the water is still flowing through the valve at high speed the valve is bigger than the diameter of the pipe you are putting it on.
We do this types of cuts on metal pipes and city water lines. We even sometimes do them completely underwater holding our breath in 12 ft holes.

Brewer here. There was a valve, he undid the clamp that holds it on. In this situation you get another valve, open it, put it on the outlet, clamp it then close the valve. The reason he stood around not knowing what to do is he's not a brewer, and shouldn't have even been touching the tanks

u/Clear-Low7813 Jan 28 '23
This is what I came to say. Person was probably bar staff and undid the tri-clamp probably on a bright tank (where the beer is held under pressure while putting CO2 in the beer, or for holding it after). The tri-clamps are used for connecting brewery hose, valves and fittings. They are removable for cleaning and sanitation.

Where zeh Germans you can get a Master degree in beer making, in China if you were yesterday a hairdresser, tomorrow you can be a beer maker.

Growing up in a dairy farm our milk tank had a valve you can remove for cleaning. Neighbors would come for milk and one time a neighbor instead of opening the hand valve, unscrewed the whole thing and the whole thing popped off. I was milking cows at the time and heard a muffled cry for help so I looked over and seen a stream of milk hitting the opposite wall. Luckily it's just gravity pressure so I was able to quickly assemble it and shove it back on while getting sprayed with milk.

I worked at a winery and have seen two failures like this. One was a sampling valve that failed. That valve was a screw thread with about a half inch diameter. Took 3 people to replace it. Not a huge deal, but still a few gallons shot out.
The other was a major fuckup. The cellar workers had accidentally pumped over a tank in the morning that was set for transfer and pressing in the afternoon. They do the pump over to extract color from the skins in red wine making. Normally the skins, etc. are all floating in the tank, you drain the tank from the bottom and then are left with a tank of mostly solids to press. Well with the pump over all that was at the bottom still. Plugged the valves. Workers thought it was empty ( and didn't check from the top of the tank ). Spun the side manhole that is at the bottom of the tank open and then all hell broke loose as ~20,000 gallons of wine was trying to get out of that door. There was nothing to be done. Wine everywhere, plugged every drain and flooded the entire floor a few inches deep.
