Way over carbonated keg

[jett78]

Quick background to explain how I got here, or skip ahead: I brewed a 7.5 gallon IPA which I split into a 5g and a 2.5g. With 3 5g kegs in my kegerator...

I set the 2.5g keg aside and forgot about it with 20+ pounds of pressure for a couple weeks.

Pure foam coming out... my question, is if this is correctable? If so, best way...

thanks

I think you have to purge gas from relief valve as often as you can for several days.

CO2 will come out of solution if head space above beer is not under pressure.

I would moved my keg into the kitchen or living room or wherever I can have frequent access. I'm guess that you are looking at 50 purges over the course of 5 days.

Let it warm to room temp then pull the vent every once in a while for a few days.

Cool, I'll give that a shot.

Should I keep it at room temperature? It had been sitting in a chest freezer in the low 60's for the last couple weeks.

Yup just vent as often as possible. It'll get there eventually.

I think less CO2 remains in solution at room temp so yes room temp is best.

Give it time and keep releasing built up CO2.
