Hi,
My kegged beer wasn't at the carb level I wanted, so I increased it too much and shook it, now I'm working on being the carb level back down. Haha yesterday, I set the CO2 tank down to 12psi and released all of the pressure from the keg, so there's only 12psi on it now. However, yesterday afternoon, it was still pouring foam.
That was the back story. Here's my question: since CO2 is heavier than O2, if I were to shut off the CO2 flow and open the PRV for an hour, would the off-gassing CO2 keep the oxygen out of my beer? I want to pour beer, not foam.
Thanks in advance!
