Over charged keg please help

[matnjess]

HELP HELP HELP!!!!!! My regulator malfunctioned, and now my keg is over charged. It is pumping nothing, but foam. Foam if I use the kegerator, foam if I use a regular hand pump. How do I fix this????

If you used a hand pump you have filled the head space with air which will make the beer go bad more quickly.

To fix an over carbonated keg you pull the vent on the coupler. Then you shake the leg, and vent again. Repeat over the course of a day or so and then reapply the correct pressure.

If you follow djc's advice, you should lessen the amount of oxygen you exposed the beer to. Once you get the keg pouring properly and if it still tastes good, have a party and make the most of the beer.

Stirring gently with chopsticks, the foam will disappear after a while.
