I brewed a nice Barleywine about 5 years ago and put it in a Cornie keg and primed it with corn sugar as I usually would for bottling. I sealed it up using the small Co2 cartridge. Well, It has been in the back of a closet for all this time.
I finally got all my kegging equipment, as I was tired of bottling. I pulled up on the pressure release valve to see if I was wasting my time, or if it was still sealed. Well..........................It has tons of pressure, and it smelled great.
It definitely has too much pressure to serve like that. Should I bleed some pressure off and put it in the fridge and hook it up to 6-7 psi and see what it is like? What is the best method to make sure I don;t ruin this if it is good?
