fixing overcarbed keg procedure

[browncoat]

Long story short I had to naturally prime a keg of esb. After talking to the lhbs and doing some reading I went ahead and used 5 oz. priming sugar for slightly more than 5 gal. I have a distinct feeling it's already over carved. So can someone read over what I plan to do and make suggestions and or spot problems?

1. Keg goes into kegerator overnight. Will chill to 45°
2. Release all pressure several times to flatten the beer.
3. Hook up (now available) co2 and force carb for 12 days @12lbs.

I need this beer the 28th is there is still time to set and forget if I can't get to it until the 15th?

How can I use a bleeder valve to utilize the existing carbonation if I don't have enough time?

Chill that keg and then try it out. If it's got too much carb, shake it up and after a few minutes, vent the excess. Do this until you get to the carb level you want.

Just make sure you disconnect the gas line or the foaming beer can back up into the line.

No reason to completely flatten the beer. I think you have plenty of time to get it set right.

Thanks. I think I will get a relief gushed and do some experimentation testing for a write up.
