Over Pressurised Keg - HOW TO FIX

If you’ve run into trouble with a tap that’s just pouring too fast, you may have accidentally over-pressurised the keg.

This video will show you how to back off the pressure in the headspace of your keg.

It doesn’t matter if you’re using A-Type Couplers, D-Type Couplers, S, G, K or any other coupler type.

We’ll show you how to back off the pressure and we’ll demonstrate using a few different types of coupler hardware attachments.

So, If you’re over-pressurised, this video will get you pouring perfect pints again in no time.

I have two keg taps. I have a half full keg on the left and just installed a second keg on the right side. Now that the new right keg is installed, the left one wont pour and the right one is extremly foamy and is coming out really fast. Could it be the new keg is too pressurized and it could that effect the entire system?

My D type tap on my senkey keg has a pressure release valve just like the one one the regulator. I didn't see that option on the ones shown. Am I right in thinking that releasing preasure from that valve would accomplish the same thing?

My kids turned my co2 up to 40 and it was like that for 9 hours maybe a bit less before I turned it down and then I disconnected my hose but didn’t take into account the duck bill so it say like that for another 24 hours and now it’s ok for the first pour after bleeding it then just foam again what do I need to do to fix it

Hi, thank You for very informative video.I m thinking to use sankey kegs for homebrewing, jwould it be possible to bleed oxigen after keg is filled up and CO2 is connected? I imagine first to fill up with CO and then unscrew CO2 valve on the coupler for release pressure ? Could You please help me with this ? Or shall I consider better to go with Cornelius keg system?

So if my coupler has the duck bill valve installed and I want to depressurize my keg am I able to do it with that valve installed? I imagine if I loosen that nut it will loosen the valve and allow CO2 to escape out from around the valve

Hi, I ve got from a frend a keg 30ltr, seems like has a A type spear, but very strange, i can not open. Maybe I could send a picture of that keg?

My tank was over pressurized, Cold and tapped for a couple days. After I warm it, should I bring it back down to temperature before I repressurize?

I have a Guinness keg which is kept at room temp and ran through a cooler system. The pint usually starts out with the correct size head taste etc but generally deteriorated after 2 weeks or so with the head size reducing. Any ideas why this is? Also if I depressurise the keg and reapply the gas do you think this will bring the Guinness back to life so to speak.

Is it normal that the co2 produces a sound like that ? Mine makes the same noise but I feel like that’s not normal, thought it was suppose to be silent.

9:31 is this a safety gadget for over pressurization?

[RajNutritionandFitness]

Hi mate, why my beer is pouring flat and taste different even though there is co2 and beerlines has been cleaned.
Thank you

[billyrob]

Do I have to have the keg warm or can I do this while the keg is cold?

[dtkent]

ok when I do this foam is comming out of the area. what does that mean? pressure was good all weekend went to pour one on Thursday and was foam. looked and pressure was 35psi. is this keg ruined?

[timocracy]

I've had massive foam problems with a full keg of Blue moon I've tried everything but I'll try this. The biggest clue was that I was getting air leaks from my coupler which should have been a clue. my guage only has a low side and still only tells you the pressure going in.

[josephromero]

Will the beer still taste flat and be over pressured? Mine comes out too fast/lots of foam and taste flat

[bennym]

As the keg empties, do you need to add more co2 ? Or do you just leave the cannister on the same pressure until the keg empties?
I mean, is there enough pressure without continually running the gas to get the beer through the lines? Or you do need to keep adding co2?

How easy is it to set up a Guinness tap, without cooler

[fifis]

Can you not just disconnect the gas and hook up a spunding valve and let it sort itself out?
