Guinness back from the dead?

[TheSlavik]

Hey guys,

Long story short. I froze my keg solid. Thawed it, then had nothing but flat beer. Determined my keg was toast. BUT... now all of a sudden... its cascading and has a good head. In fact... too much head. My tems and pressure are bang on. 41 degrees liquid, and 38psi w/ beergas.

Ideas?

When a nitrogenated beer such as Guinness is frozen, all bets are off. It is difficult to determine what the CO2 in the beer will eventually end up doing. It could have absorped excess CO2 in the top layer (even with a blend) when the beer began to freeze and then when this layer hit the bottom of the keg, over cascading took place.

Thanks for the insight. Much appreciated as always.
