Your specialist is short bus special...

Do what day trippr said above. Gas off...vent. Wait. Vent. Test. Repeat until it is where you want it and turn the gas back on.

HAHA...thanks for the info. I have one more question for you. I have been doing this routine for that past couple days and I have not been able to get over 6 psi or the pint will be mostly foam. I have it set at 5 psi right now and it is pouring great. My question is, when I buy my new keg tomorrow to add to the keezer, how will this affect the new beer? I understand that the beers I will have in the keezer require a psi of 10-12(normally), so with the new beer added, will it pour correctly at such a low psi? Or, should I continue this burping routine until I can get the psi setting back to around 11 before I add the new keg?

Leaving it at 5 psi the over carbed and new brew will both pour fine for a day or so but then the low serving pressure will eventually make both brews undercarbed.
You want the gas off so the co2 can come out of the brew. Continue to vent or pour a couple times with the gas off. If it starts to seem undercarbed then it is time to turn on the gas to the correct serving pressure.

Without pressure, there is not way for the beer to make it out of the tower set up I have. Can I not keep the psi where it is for a day or so, then when the beer seems to be undercarbed, then turn up co2 as needed, which will carbonate the beer?

Sure that should work. If nothing happens when you pour with the gas off it sounds like it isn't over carbed anymore. I mentioned pulling a few with the pressure off because I had a commercial keg that had a case of regulator creep and that method helped me out.
