So I have about 1/2 a corny keg full of home brew, which I've promised to bring to the office lunch party TOMORROW. I went outside tonight to start filling up 4 growlers (I didn't want to bring the whole thing, shaking it all up, plus, it won't fit in the fridge at the office!) and a few bottles for gifts, and discovered that sometime between Saturday evening (when I last poured off a couple of pints) and tonight (it's now 1am on Wednesday), something must have been jostled and a leak must have formed in the air lines, because my co2 tank is utterly empty and there is ZERO pressure in the keg! Nothing comes out when I open the picnic tap.
Technically I could pop the keg and rack out what's left, but I don't know if I have enough bottles on hand to hold it all, and frankly, I'm not sure if the beer itself is flat or not.
I assume if I get my tank refilled tomorrow I can hook it all back up and get it flowing, perhaps even in time for the party (at noon!), but if the beer has gone flat, there's no way I'm going to be able to carb it up in time!
What are the odds of the beer being flat? Any opinions on my options? Or am I just SOL for this round? (for the party, at least)
