Priming in a corny keg?

[bracconiere]

I guess my real question is how long will it take to completely go flat. I would assume some time as it's in a sealed corny keg, even while serving it. I'm out of gas right now as my back up tank apparently has a burst disk in the knob and is out of commission. Which really stinks. But what better way to find out how long my cider and beer will stay carbonated

i've used empty kegs with presure to push full ones before.....

were you able to pour the whole keg? I would guess no, I will be messing with kegs and forget to hook gas back up from time to time and my wife will ask if the keg is suppose to pour at a trickle. The head space pressure seems to be enough to push a beer or two but I guess that might depend on how full the keg is.

So this is a scenario of where you would capture the excess gas when it's in the conditioning phase.

I will let you know how it goes. My cider was a bit over carbed and it's still serving very fast. Only time will tell

well i usually have 6 kegs hooked up, so it'd be more then one empty keg with co2 still in it..i just remember it got me by for a couple days...
