I searched the forums and haven't found anyone with this exact problem. I accidentally left the pressure on both kegs in my kegerator at about 45-50 PSI for 24 hours.
Once I found out what happened, I cut off CO2, degassed, waited a few hours, then degassed again. I wanted to see how foamy it would pour (I know it's an obvious answer: very foamy) so I put 5 psi on the kegs and tried to pour - nothing.
Then I put 10 psi on the kegs and tried to pour - still nothing. Is this because the beers are so overcarbonated, they refuse to leave the keg? Or did I mess up my kegerator somehow?
Like most things, I'm guessing time will heal all. But part of me is concerned that I ruined my corny kegs or some part of my kegerator, or worst of all ... my beer!
Sorry to make my second post a cry for help, someday I'll be contributing recipes and general homebrew wisdom!
