So here's the situation.. I replaced 2 kegs monday night and didn't realize that my co2 was out. The kegs were full of beer and pressurized when I hooked the lines up and some beer must of have pushed back into the lines. What's the best way to clean them?

Also, since the their is no co2 and I opened the taps to remove air from the beer line I think most if not all the pressure is gone. How long will these kegs be ok like this?

Thanks!
 
I would run some hot water through the lines, and maybe some oxyclean, pbw, or beer line cleaner if you have it. Then run with some iodophor or starsan and you'll be fine.

As for the beer... as long as it's sealed in the keg, it should be fine until you can refill your co2.
