    Ran out of co2 and beer backed up into manifold: what to do?

    Kegged 20 gal this weekend. Chewed through the last of my co2. Causes beer to back into my lines and co2 manifold (but not regulator). Do I need to change all my lines out, scrub the manifold? Or will the 100% co2 keep everything a-okay and prevent growth?
