I am brewing an American Pale Ale which ferments for about 7 days. After primary fermentation I transfer into a Cornelius keg. In this keg I am dry hopping with pellet hops in a mesh bag for three days. My problem is that when I open the keg after three days to remove the hops, beer goes everywhere. I try to let the pressure out of the keg using the release valve but I am still loosing way too much beer as foam and beer spews out everywhere. Any suggestions on how to get the hops out and leave the beer in? Also, I feel that I should mention that I am carbonating naturally and have not crash cooled the beer at this point.
