I inadverntantly hit the test button on one of my GFI outlets while brewing Fri - so the circuit was shut off. Unfortunately it was also the outlet that the kegerator is plugged into. Anyway last night 55df beer and a little overcarbed and warm - so I checked and put the circuit back on line. Today it's all a little undercarbed. I assume it degassed a bit when warm and if I leave it alone I'll be back to normal in a day to two. I'm thinking this through correctly - Right?

Yeah, over time it should go back into solution at the same level it was when you drop the temp back down. If you poured from it, it may take a little longer since some CO2 that was in solution went into the headspace and increased the headspace pressure. And when you poured you lost some of this CO2 that would have went back in the beer. This is all conjecture and handwaving though, YMMV.

If? Shirley, you can't be serious. We pretended it was cask ale for the evening last night.
