After years of kegging homebrew I finally bought a commercial coupler and have my first commercial brew on tap. It is as I suspected carbed a bit high for my system. I managed to get it tapped okay. What is the best way to bleed off the keg? I assumed you need to have the lines attached to the coupler before connecting to the keg, which is what I did. There is a bleed valve there but the gas connection just looks like an open port. My check valve is at the level of the manifold. If I turn off my gas at the manifold so I can bleed the keg am I risking beer backing up in the line? It seems like not because I can't see the equivalent of a gas dip tube on a corny (I've had the experience of overfilling a corny above the diptube and getting beer back in the gas line). In a second keg I've got a commercial stout which was apparently carbed for dispensing on CO2 that I want to serve on my new stout tap with beer gas. I figure I'm gonna have to put a little time in de-carbing that one.
