Ok, I got back into town to find my mini fridge in which I store my kegged beer in, decided to create a blizzard inside it. It had a huge chink of ice form in it which encased the upper portion of my corny keg, including beer line and quick disconnects.
I took it outside and using a garden hose de-iced it. When I got my keg out, the remaining beer (about half full) was beer slushy.
What effect will this have on my beer if I let the ice melt in the beer? I know that freezing the water in a solution will concentrate the solution. But over all taste?
Will this become like Ice House?
Next question, is, did my gear sustain damage? I know the keg should be fine as I did not shock the metal by using hot water ( water temp from hose is 50ish), but the plastic quick connects?
The rubber O rings should be fine?
Any advice is needed and wselcomed.
Thanks
