As long as your purge the headspace with co2 they should be fine to just leave.

A bit late, but if you are getting beer in the gas line, the keg is over carbonated. The pressure in the keg is higher than the pressure in the gas line.
When you pour the beer all you are getting is froth then the beer looks flat, I did exactly the same thing when I started kegging, it's over carbonated, release some of the pressure from the valve shake it a little and release soem more until you have lowere dthe pressure sufficiently, I pour at about 20-30 KPa.
Try gassing your next keg when it's cold 1-2c not 15c. set the pressure to around 100-120KPa and rock roll until the gas stop bubbling into the beer (you'll hear it stop), should take about 5-10minutes.

"Well,
Today I set up my kep system. I have a 300 litre centrex chest freezer set up with a mashmaster fridgemate set at 2 degrees. Coming out through the lid I have 2 beer hoses connected to a twin faucet. looks great. all i need now is a drip tray and a bar mat.
The kegs were chilled to 2 degrees than according to a book produced by JEFF RODHAM called "THE BASICS OF KIT BREWING", it was connected to CO2 for 24 hours at 350 kpa. He then states to release all the pressure then turn the gas back on until you get the desired serving pressue.
This is the slight problem. I am getting a lot of head and therefore wasting beer.
The pressure at the moment is about 50 kpa.
By the way this is the second batch of beer (first one was bottled and not ready to drink) In 1 keg I have MUNICH LAGER (supplied with home brew kit) and in the other keg I have TOOHEY"S EXTRA DRY.
So, if anyone can help on the too much froth business please reply
Dan"
