5 days ago i racked beer into a corny keg for the first time.
i hit it with 30 psi for 24 hrs. Then lowered to 10 for the next 4 days.
well i went to go and serve myself some today. The problem was that i had not connected my picnic tap, hose and disconnect to the keg. I thought that was something you did when it was done carbing.
Well you can imagine how dumb i feel now that I tried to connect it and beer sprayed out the post because (of course!) its under pressure now.
My question is what do I do now? Do I pull the relieve valve on my keg and empty it of pressure, then connect my serving line? After that do I need to re-carb my beer? Will it take another 5 days at 10psi?
thanks!
