Re-gassing Pressure Barrel

[morethanworts]

Perhaps stupidly , I attempted to purge some air from my PB today, because I'm not sure I gave it a long enough blast to do so before tightening the cap after racking into it 3 days ago. I gave a blast of CO2 and released some 'air' from the pressure release valve by moving the rubber.

There is pressure left in there, but I don't know how much. The PB has been kept warm for 3 days after priming.

Shall I just leave it?
Slacken the cap, release all pressure and purge, tighten again?
or something else...?

Thanks...

i'd just leave it, as long as you added sugar when you put it into the PB it will create its own CO2, just keep it warm for 2 week and keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't leak, if it does leak there are plenty of threads on here explaining what to do
