Can i remove a commercial keg from fridge for awhile?

Hello,

I have about 1/3 left of a full keg of Miller Light in my kegerator (don't flame me bro!). I don't have room to fit my first homebrew in that should be ready to drink! My question is, can I take the pressurized miller out and put mine in and then when the 5 gallons is gone (if my next batch isn't ready) will the Miller still be ok? Please keep all "pour the miller out" posts away from this thread

Yep, will be fine (well, it should still be carbonated anyway). Don't put it where it can get hot or anything, but room temp for a while is fine.

Go for it. It should be fine. The CO2 will not come out, and I have never noticed any difference in taste with temp swings from finished beer.

I kinda thought it should be fine, but wanted to check before I wasted it. Can't wait to taste my first homebrew!

If you have a spare corny keg and can make a jumper, do what I did with a leftover keg. Transfer it into the beer out of the spare corny and then you should be able to fit both cornys into the same kegerator footprint of 1 1/2 keg. That way both stay cold and you can get your deposit back to use on ingredients sooner. Win/Win.
