Default Co2 question

I will have 2 kegs tapped with co2 party dispenser and will need to transport the left over kegs back home.

How long can I disconnect the co2 without having to worry about the beer going bad?

Thanks

I have had kegs disconnected for about 10 days with no problem. Just keep them cold.

This will depend on what pressure utilized to dispense through the equipment and the storage temperature. The beer in the keg can absorb excess CO2 if head pressure is too high resulting in over carbonation. This will begin to cause dispensing issues when the over gassed layer hits the bottom of the keg.
