Looking for tips on best way to bleed excess CO2 out of kegged beer. I primed a keg because I didn't have a free CO2 line and let it sit in the basement around 60deg for a few months. It is now well chilled and taped but severely over carbonated. I want it at 2.4 vol or about 10.5 psi at 38deg. After I disconnected the CO2 attached, I have poured 2 pitchers of foam that settle out to about 25% beer. Tap, line length, balance, etc is all good as I use this set up all the time for beers between 2 and 3 vol of CO2. I am guessing I have massively over carbed this. What is the best way to bleed the excess co2 out of the beer? I can bleed the head space repeatedly, but this is causing foaming that blows out of the PRV and will take a long time to allow the beer to naturally decarb with such a small volume of headspace. Any suggestions?
