  • Bleeding CO2 for transportation

    Hello,

    I am transporting my kegs from my home kegerator for a party and that will require the kegs to travel about half an hour.

    My question is: should I bleed some CO2 out before transporting these to avoid over carbing and/or too much foam when I re-connect them? They will be re-connected to CO2.

    Thanks

    It's impossible to over carb beer that isn't hooked up to co2. Bleeding off head pressure will do nothing more than allow the co2 in the beer to exit the beer.

    Try to let them settle for a good hour before dispensing, and you should be fine. If you're dispensing right away, then you're probably going to have foam. Sure you can bleed off some co2 and maybe avoid that, but do you want to serve flat beer?
