Default Too much priming sugar!

First time kegging, a Sleemans Steam Beer. I acquired a 20 lb co2 cylinder with all the hoses and regulator for free. I used 3/4 cup priming sugar instead of 1/3 cup in the Korney. Is my keg going to explode? I know it won't burst but what is going to happen to my beer? Too foamy, too gassy? I plan on drinking it, but I can only imagine all the foam.

You can pull the valve and purge excess pressure if you need to.

Your kegs not gonna explode. These things can hold alot more pressure than bottles. Just make sure before you hook up the gas in your keggerator; that you vent the keg first. If you don't, and the pressure is higher in the keg than your regulator is set for, you risk the chance of beer backing up into your regulator (which is bad mojo). No worries!!

Cheers!
