So about 4 months ago I had kegged a nice brown ale and then went away on business. Upon my return I broke out a glass to try my recently kegged brown only to find a slow stream of beer pouring into my glass. I checked the co2 tank and found that it had completely emptied.
Obviously it leaked out and I wrote off my beer as being ruined. Now I never emptied the keg, I simply left it in my refrigerator until today when I needed to get prepared for keging two new brews tomorrow and I needed that keg. I pulled it out of the fridge and went to pop the top and realized that, "hey this thing still has gas on it." I pulled the relief pin and sure as ****, a good volume of air rushed out.
So my question is, do you think this beer is actually good to drink? You think just getting some co2 on it will bring it back to life? Looking for a quick answer so I don't throw out what could possibly be good beer?
Thanks
P.S. It has been holding steady at 36 degrees the entire time.
