Dude, this video is almost 10 years old but is 100% relevant. I have spent days trying to fix my foaming issue. This solved the problem 10 minutes after viewing. Thank you!
Six years later and this post is still going strong,amazing this is not more avaliable on different sites. But the main thing is , IT WORKS !!! and it works fast instead of trying to release pressure over several days. Thanks !!!
Thanks Mate! I had to repeat this six times until my beer got finally fixed, It works! I'm really happy and drunk now! thank you very much!! cheers from Chile! Roberto
Thanks a lot man. I had this problem with my first legged brew. I searched everywhere for an answer and then stumbled across your video. I threw the in on the out and cycled the bibles 3 times, and boom like magic I'm back in business. Homebrew hero award to you good sir.
Jake, I was fighting foam until I came across this video. Walked over to the kegerator did what you suggested...then poured myself a pint...perfect. You fixed my beer! Thanks!
Messed about for a week trying to sort my foamy Amber! This video sorted it straight away and also saved me shelling out £40 on some 3/16 line flow control devices and reducers , thanks for this vid!
Thanks for posting this. I don't normally comment but this saved me. Not sure how but two of my kegs were big time overcharged and I'm having 50+ people over. Was freaking out I wouldn't be able to use them. This worked flawlessly. I can rest easy tonight! Thank you,!
Some very good info you put out there thanx. Now lets get to you making a better video. First off, if you put the beer down, we wouldnt have to hear you coughing because you swallowed it wrong. Second, you talk around the subject your on multiple times and then pause because you forgot where you left off. A longer video is not a better video, just a longer one. Get in, get to the point, and when your finished, you can drink all the beer you want. If need be, write your points of talk on a piece of paper and tape it somewhere, so you can use it as a reference point. You do have some very helpful tricks you gave out. Thank you for that sir. Hope my insite will help you on your next video. Take care.
Right on! This is good news for a newbie that supercarbonated a beer (like me a wheat ale that I got overzealous with) It worked. And is yet another proof that you can find how to fix anything on UA-cam. Thanks jakecpunut) .
This is a great help for people with the over carbed beer. Best way to ensure a good seal is do your initial charge to about 30psi so everything seals up tight from the inside out. after your done purging then set your pressure to around 10 to 12 psi.
Thanks for posting this video. I have watched it before and I do this technique everytime I need to decarbonate. I have pin lock kegs and what I did is I put a T in one of the gas line and attached a pin lock liquid out to 1 side and a pin lock gas fitting on the other. Works like a charm
hey man you are a life saver, watched your video the other day and did what you said to do about the over carbornating of the beer, to mt suprise it worked and im the happiest guy at the moment. Thanks alot for the video and keep up the good work jean claude
You are a god among men. This technique saved my Pliny The Elder clone!!!!!! 2/3 of a keg went from pure foam back to drinkable liquid. Cheers and THANK YOU!!!!!! FYI I had to do about 8 "burps" of the keg in total. Scared to leave co2 hooked up to it now, but I do need it to reach some sort of equilibrium...
Thanks I'm using a 5 foot line temp is about 35 to 36 degrees I'm using the perlick 525 ss right now I saw another video of yours on the perlick flow control faucet I might buy those it looks like the work very well from what I saw in ure video thanks
Yes.. I just leave it on the serving pressure.. 10-12 psi at around 36 degrees. I actually have.. one of the nuts worked loose on the post connector that attaches to the line. That was a simple fix. You can spray starsan since it foams up quite a bit to see if you have any leaks. Usually it's either a pop-it on a post or lid oring. Just make sure everything is seated good. Cheers!
Good vid! Love the slow-mo. When I end up with an overcarb'd keg I usually give it a shake with no pressure on it to rrelease the co2 from the beer, then reconnect the gas line. I'm going to try your way next time. Thanks!
Lol all this people complaining about video quality!! Lol all I got to say it's thank you so much for this tip, all I got was foam from my first two pours and I was freaking out I will put this in to place and hope it works out for me!!
dude, your video just got me out of a serious bind!! i had bottled several batches from a keg at this point, but got a little to generous on the CO2 (~24 psi over a week and a half)) for the batch i am bottling tonight. i went to take a sample before hooking up my beer gun, and it was a "keg o foam". hadn't seen anything like it before. per your video, i ran the CO2 line through the 'beer out' post in order to degas the keg. unlike your video, i had to deal with foam coming out of the gas release mechanism. but it got the pressure down nonetheless. and now i have liquid coming out of the beer line instead of foam. thanks a lot, sir. cheers!!!!!
Even though I have nothing to add, I just have to also thank you! and agree with everyone else commenting on here. Umm... THIS TRICK WORKS! Just fought my first Homebrew Keg for about a week dinking around with the pressure, etc and basically worsening the foam problem... Wish i wouldve found this vid earlier. I am good to go now.
It really depends .. the length of the lines going to your taps, the temperature of the beer can both be a factor in foamy beer as well as just being over carbonated.. I would just run it at 5 psi till it equalizes and see, then bump it up if need be.
@jakecpunut No idea. Just throwin it out there as everyone else seems to put it on 20-30 psi for 2 days and then it's perfect they say. I find if I don't do the way I mentioned above, my beer starts out with little to no head and takes a few days to build up on tap. I serve at 12 psi and my lines are only about 6 foot long. My kegerator fridge stays at about 33-35 degrees if I stay out of it which I usually do unless changing kegs or cleaning taps.
Thanks for your reply. I'm starting to think you're right, well I did actually bleed all the co2 but that was yesterday, so am guessing over night the keg re-compressed with the dissolved gas :/ As for the post, they're quite hard to get on so have ordered new o-rings as i'm starting to think they look a little large (they came with the kegs) Oh well, we live and learn. Cheers for the help
Glad you shared this! I have this problem on occasion as well, and I have always just "dealt" with it. In fact, I have a keg over carbed now, which I will be using this method on! Shot a video last night, popped two of your beers, but having trouble exporting the video off the disc....I really have to figure a different camera out. Maybe it's time for one of the flip style or Koday Playsport cameras. Anyway, hope to get something up tonight.
very good question! I think probably a little but i wouldn't think a lot since you really only bleed to valve like 3 times. And I doubt any flavor would.. probably just a little aroma..
Sorry to hear you having problems.. it sounds like you may have not bled off the C02 in the keg first before you hooked up the line. be sure to do that or the pressure from the keg could push beer back up. The connector can be a pain to get back off but most of the time can be done without problems.. just gotta work at it.
Thanks very much mate, I was just having this issue so I searched and found your vid, worked for me!!!!!!!!! The first glass was still frothy but the next was just right.
It took a moment, then I realized that the mechanical action of the CO2 bubbling up from the bottom is what was knocking the extra CO2 out of solution. Very clever!
excellent excellent vid. this vid saved my arse. this and the one Tiny did on the same subject. thankyou very much. may every beer you ever consume be the nectar of the gods. cheers.
Cool idea to degas an overcarbed keg. I noticed you hooked up the gas in to the liquid out. I've done this accidentally before and destroyed the gas qd trying to remove it from liquid out post. It almost locked itself to the post and no amount of force could unattach it. I think the posts and for gas and liquid are designed differently from each other. Have you had any such problems?
isnt the beer out and gas in different connections? how did you put the gas on the beer out post without getting it stuck...i did that once on accident.
Hi Jake. Love your videos. Cool to see your progression from mr. Beer to all-grain homebrew guru. I've heard you mention clarity alot and your desire for clearer homebrew in some of your videos. Check out adding gelatin when kegging. I've gone from murky to brilliantly clear homebrew since I started using it. 99 cent boxes at the grocery store have 5 packets and you really just need a half pack per keg. Hope it helps. Keep on brewin!
OK jake, When I read this I thought Yeah Right! I have an English Brown Ale that I kegged and did a 2 day fast Carbonation on and it was Super over carbonated that's why I did a UA-cam search and found your video. Can't believe it worked!!! YES!! don't know the physics but like you say must have blown all the higher carb or whatever out from coming up from the bottom of the keg. Cheers! it's only 11:15 AM but come 5:00 I will toast one with you. Thank, Dale
One thing i didn't mention in the vid is you could take off the out connector and switch to the gas line to make it easier to take on and off. that just takes more time and depends on if you have swivel nuts to unscrew or crimps to have to recrimp on whether it's worth that.
thanks man, I have a few days to kill before drinking my beer, so I am just degassing it over the next few days, but this trick will help in the future!
I'm having a problem with my kegerator just pushing out all foam.. Will this method work with a coupler device..I'm not sure but I have been fighting foam all day and tried everything I have read .. Any ideas and will this work on my type of keg unit?
so when we put the lines back on normally and put the pressure to 12 psi it pour foam again. So we used your method again and it worked but we notice its pouring beer without foam but without the C02 on. We are going to keep pouring without the C02 on and then start low pressure and slowing increase it until the foam starts again and then back it off. That sound like a plan?
Wow. Never knew that about fixing over carbed beer that way. Thanks for posting. I don't know man, I bottled my Galena challenge brews (10) out of the keg at 12 psi and all of the ones I've seen on UA-cam have held good carbonation. I also set my beer at room temp or so at 30 PSI for one full week. Room temp here is 70-75 degrees. Love the Beastie Boys. Just sayin.
Jake, Talk about how much you increase your CO2 to when your bottling from a keg. I'd like to know as well. I am bottling from the keg and my beers are under carbed as well. Thanks! Great video bud!! Sean
This does work, however, on most corny kegs the in/out are not interchangeable, so you can't just put your gas on the out post without swapping ball locks.
How is it that your liquid and gas ball-locks are interchangeable? IE - your liquid coupler fits on your gas post and vice versa? Mine will only fit on their respective posts.
Actually they don't very easily. You really have to push hard to get it on and sometimes it's a $%#@ to get back off. In reality the best way to do it is to have a spare liquid connector that you can put on the C02 line or just take the other off to use.
@blschneider I'll admit it is a little tough to get on and off.. but so far I haven't had any problems with it hurting anything YET.. From the posts I read elsewhere I didn't see any problems but not saying it can't happen..
So I was going to try this but now my gas line is half way on the Out post and won't move either direction - on or off - and I'm losing beer. How do I get it off the post without breaking it?
@blschneider Thanks! Glad you enjoy the vids! Yeah I've read about gelatin but just haven't took the plunge and tried it. That's something I need to do in the near future! Thanks for the reminder!!
Thanks for the video Jake. I have a stout that has carbed up too much (too much for the style in my opinion, maybe approaching 2 volumes or something). How many times would you let it stop bubbling and purge to knock the carbonation down to a reasonable level for a stout (so get rid of a big chunk of the carbonation)? Thanks
do you leave your kegs constantly hooked onto the c02 cylinder? have you ever had a slow leak? howd you fix it? or do you just keep it closed until it needs gas? thanksJake
Haha Jake all these years later, this is still the go-to video to visit when running into overcarb issues. Good man, cheers!
Dude, this video is almost 10 years old but is 100% relevant. I have spent days trying to fix my foaming issue. This solved the problem 10 minutes after viewing. Thank you!
Awesome! So glad it helped! Cheers!
You just saved my life, I went througf 80% of a keg that was just foam no matter what I did, until I did this! what a great idea
Nice! So glad it helped! Cheers!
This just fixed my IPA, thank you good sir.
Glad it helped! Cheers!
Six years later and this post is still going strong,amazing this is not more avaliable on different sites. But the main thing is , IT WORKS !!! and it works fast instead of trying to release pressure over several days. Thanks !!!
Kw awesome! Glad it worked for you and is still helping others!
This video absolutely saved my sanity because I was at wits end with my keg. Thank you. Absolutely fixed my problem.
Awesome! Glad it helped! Cheers!
Thanks Mate! I had to repeat this six times until my beer got finally fixed, It works! I'm really happy and drunk now! thank you very much!! cheers from Chile! Roberto
Had the same problem and read the same thread on homebrewtalk and thought theres no way thatll work, but it does! its a miracle! instant fix!!!
Thanks a lot man. I had this problem with my first legged brew. I searched everywhere for an answer and then stumbled across your video. I threw the in on the out and cycled the bibles 3 times, and boom like magic I'm back in business.
Homebrew hero award to you good sir.
Thanks bro from Australia
Jake,
I was fighting foam until I came across this video.
Walked over to the kegerator did what you suggested...then poured myself a pint...perfect.
You fixed my beer!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! I spent half a day trying to figure out how to fix my over carbonated beer. This worked like a charm!
Interesting stuff. I don't keg, but this is a really neat trick. Thank god for HBT. And glad you didn't die on UA-cam!
Messed about for a week trying to sort my foamy Amber! This video sorted it straight away and also saved me shelling out £40 on some 3/16 line flow control devices and reducers , thanks for this vid!

Works like a champ, good to know. Thanks
Cheers from Australia mate. You’ve just made my weekend with this video.
Glad it helped! Cheers
This worked! I can't believe it. You are a life saver! I almost wrote this batch off.
YOU are now a legend in my sons and my eyes
Some very good info you put out there thanx. Now lets get to you making a better video. First off, if you put the beer down, we wouldnt have to hear you coughing because you swallowed it wrong.

Great advice to be applied to about 75% of all UA-cam content.
Right on! This is good news for a newbie that supercarbonated a beer (like me a wheat ale that I got overzealous with) It worked. And is yet another proof that you can find how to fix anything on UA-cam. Thanks jakecpunut) .
I'm gonna guess you get sick of hearing this..... but 07:00 BOOM....worked like a freakin charm....Thank you, Thank you....Thank you.....
Awesome! Never get tired of hearing it. Cheers!

Thanks for the tip on the overcarbed keg. I'll have to remember that.
Had a Over carbonated pint of IPA with my dinner. Then finished my plate with a perfect pour. So pumped thank you Brother
hey man you are a life saver, watched your video the other day and did what you said to do about the over carbornating of the beer, to mt suprise it worked and im the happiest guy at the moment. Thanks alot for the video and keep up the good work
jean claude
Thank you. Worked like a charm.
Awesome! Glad it helped! Cheers
i tried to understand the logic behind this. then i gave up and just did it. FINALLY! thank you so much.
You are a god among men. This technique saved my Pliny The Elder clone!!!!!! 2/3 of a keg went from pure foam back to drinkable liquid. Cheers and THANK YOU!!!!!! FYI I had to do about 8 "burps" of the keg in total. Scared to leave co2 hooked up to it now, but I do need it to reach some sort of equilibrium...
Michael Chiltern awesome! Glad it worked and what a great clone to save! Cheers!
Thanks Jake. I have this issue with both my kegs currently on tap. I'll try this for sure.
Nice tip jake this is good to know thanks for sharing with us cheers
Oh and u sounded like a wounded bear in the slow-mo ha ha
Thanks I'm using a 5 foot line temp is about 35 to 36 degrees I'm using the perlick 525 ss right now I saw another video of yours on the perlick flow control faucet I might buy those it looks like the work very well from what I saw in ure video thanks

Thanks, helped me a bunch. And quick as a lick. Mine was seriously overcarbed though so it made quite a foamy mess.
Just had this happen to one of my kegs. Your trick works like a charm! Thanks Jake!
Thanks for putting this video out there. Worked like a charm.
Thanks! I did just as you described and now have the perfect carbonation!
Good vid! Love the slow-mo. When I end up with an overcarb'd keg I usually give it a shake with no pressure on it to rrelease the co2 from the beer, then reconnect the gas line. I'm going to try your way next time. Thanks!
Lol all this people complaining about video quality!! Lol all I got to say it's thank you so much for this tip, all I got was foam from my first two pours and I was freaking out I will put this in to place and hope it works out for me!!
Emilio Ruiz lol. People always have something to complain about.. Hope it works out for you. Cheers!
I enjoyed this video and will be burping my over carbed keg down to a good level tonight. Thanks!

Might be an old vid but it works and just may have saved my life. Well sanity if not life, thanks mate.
Matthew O'Connell glad it worked for you! Cheers!
God bless you dear friend :)
My beer and gas lines are fairly easy to swap! This really does the trick for over carbonation!
It really depends .. the length of the lines going to your taps, the temperature of the beer can both be a factor in foamy beer as well as just being over carbonated.. I would just run it at 5 psi till it equalizes and see, then bump it up if need be.
That's exactly what I did after watching this video. Worked great, thanks
@jakecpunut No idea. Just throwin it out there as everyone else seems to put it on 20-30 psi for 2 days and then it's perfect they say.

You just saved my beer. Thank you.
Just gave a crack. thank you. works a charm. cheers
That was exactly what I needed to know! Thanks Jake! Worked like a charm.
@HokieHomeBrew yuppers.. it does take a little force to get it on and off but doesn't seem to hurt anything, from what I can tell anyways.
Glad you shared this! I have this problem on occasion as well, and I have always just "dealt" with it. In fact, I have a keg over carbed now, which I will be using this method on!
Shot a video last night, popped two of your beers, but having trouble exporting the video off the disc....I really have to figure a different camera out. Maybe it's time for one of the flip style or Koday Playsport cameras. Anyway, hope to get something up tonight.
Thanks Jake, I just used your tip and it worked great.
Thanks! This worked, but was a a pain to get the connector off.
Thanks a ton, tamed my foam fountain in minutes
Glad it helped! Cheers

The first glass was still frothy but the next was just right.
Jeff M awesome! Glad it worked for you! Cheers!
Thanks mate!! Seems strange to add extra co2 to reduce carbonation but it worked at treat.
Most welcome! Cheers!
It took a moment, then I realized that the mechanical action of the CO2 bubbling up from the bottom is what was knocking the extra CO2 out of solution. Very clever!
Worked like a charm...thanks for uploading!!
excellent excellent vid. this vid saved my arse. this and the one Tiny did on the same subject. thankyou very much. may every beer you ever consume be the nectar of the gods. cheers.
Top Man, thanks for the video 🍻
Thanks! Glad it worked. Cheers!
Holy crap, this works. I wanted a lot of beer with foam, 3 presses might have been too much but it worked. I wish I knew the science behind it.
Travis Jansen glad it worked for you! Cheers
This video was a lifesaver thank you!
Thanks for the info. I'm new at kegging beer and homebrewing I'm learning by doing. Thanks for the info.I have the same b boys shirt LoL.
Cool idea to degas an overcarbed keg. I noticed you hooked up the gas in to the liquid out. I've done this accidentally before and destroyed the gas qd trying to remove it from liquid out post. It almost locked itself to the post and no amount of force could unattach it. I think the posts and for gas and liquid are designed differently from each other. Have you had any such problems?
@Runenaldo Great!!! Glad you got it fixed and glad the video helped! Cheers!
Jumping off my seat to go try this now... cheers!
This worked like a charm! Thanks.
isnt the beer out and gas in different connections? how did you put the gas on the beer out post without getting it stuck...i did that once on accident.

Whahah lol @ the slow-mo! That's a serious collection of kegs over there :-)
LOL...props to that slow motion cough...i almost died laughing LOL

You saved my kegged brew! Thank you so much!
Awesome! Glad it helped!
thanks man, I have a few days to kill before drinking my beer, so I am just degassing it over the next few days, but this trick will help in the future!
Awesome! Glad you got it fixed!!!
I'm having a problem with my kegerator just pushing out all foam.. Will this method work with a coupler device..I'm not sure but I have been fighting foam all day and tried everything I have read .. Any ideas and will this work on my type of keg unit?
Thanks man good job i was having that problem this helps alot keep up the good work 👍👍
Antonn Smith awesome, glad it helped! Cheers!
so when we put the lines back on normally and put the pressure to 12 psi it pour foam again. So we used your method again and it worked but we notice its pouring beer without foam but without the C02 on. We are going to keep pouring without the C02 on and then start low pressure and slowing increase it until the foam starts again and then back it off. That sound like a plan?
Charles L that's a good start and should work. Cheers
All good now!
Wow. Never knew that about fixing over carbed beer that way. Thanks for posting.
I don't know man, I bottled my Galena challenge brews (10) out of the keg at 12 psi and all of the ones I've seen on UA-cam have held good carbonation. I also set my beer at room temp or so at 30 PSI for one full week. Room temp here is 70-75 degrees. Love the Beastie Boys. Just sayin.
Jake,
Talk about how much you increase your CO2 to when your bottling from a keg. I'd like to know as well. I am bottling from the keg and my beers are under carbed as well.
Thanks!
Great video bud!!

nice work, very helpfull , keep up the good work .
This does work, however, on most corny kegs the in/out are not interchangeable, so you can't just put your gas on the out post without swapping ball locks.
Not true. It is difficult to put on and off though

Thanks for the response, Jake.
I tried this on a full keg, ended up taking a beer shower and losing at least a gallon but it worked
Also had the hose down the cars in the garage and wipe the walls
@blschneider I'll admit it is a little tough to get on and off.. but so far I haven't had any problems with it hurting anything YET.. From the posts I read elsewhere I didn't see any problems but not saying it can't happen..
So I was going to try this but now my gas line is half way on the Out post and won't move either direction - on or off - and I'm losing beer. How do I get it off the post without breaking it?
For anyone else with this problem it took a 1 1/8" box wrench and a rubber mallet to disconnect it.
live saver! this works perfectly
Bryan Spence awesome! Glad it helped. Cheers!
AWESOME! Glad it worked for you!!
Thanks for the video!
@blschneider Thanks! Glad you enjoy the vids! Yeah I've read about gelatin but just haven't took the plunge and tried it. That's something I need to do in the near future! Thanks for the reminder!!
wouldn't this blow alot of hop flavor/aroma off at the same time for hoppy IPA's?
Thanks for the video Jake. I have a stout that has carbed up too much (too much for the style in my opinion, maybe approaching 2 volumes or something). How many times would you let it stop bubbling and purge to knock the carbonation down to a reasonable level for a stout (so get rid of a big chunk of the carbonation)? Thanks
do you leave your kegs constantly hooked onto the c02 cylinder? have you ever had a slow leak? howd you fix it? or do you just keep it closed until it needs gas?
