Damn it I froze 4 kegs

[Brew-boy]

Not sure how it happened but my chest freezer froze my kegs. This has has been working very well for 3 years never a problem. Now I have very strong ice beer and I am not digging the flavor. I am letting it thaw out now but do you think the beers can be saved? I was going to enter these into competition.

Let them thaw and give them some time to mix/blend back together again. They should be fine.

Aside from the beer, how are the kegs? I hope they didn't get to swollen, I've seen some horrible pics of filled kegs that froze.

PS Sorry for your loss.........

As long as the kegs didn't rupture, the beer will be fine once thawed.

Are you using an external controller and where is the probe?

Strain out the liquid and make an ice beer!

When I first got my kegerator, I froze a few kegs due to temperature adjustment issues. Like said above, if the keg didn't break, your beer will be fine. When mine froze, I just adjusted the temp, pulled them out of the kegerator until thawed, then threw them back in. Beer tasted exactly the same as it did before they froze.

Thanks Halfpint that's what I was hoping to hear.
