Kegerator Series Part 1: Gas & Regulators 

Thanks!

Thank you!

Yes! They were customers of ours as well, Chris is a great guy

Hi Kyle, WIth an adapter that should work for you, just keep an eye on it the first day or so and double check the connection with the adapter (they can be finnicky to setup).

Hey Joe! The volume meter can definitely drop overnight when you move your keg into the fridge. The temperature difference will lower the overall pressure inside the tank, so even though you still have gas inside the regulator shows you have a lower psi. The opposite occurs if you were to heat up the tank, the PSI would go up and it would seem like you have more gas than you really do. The best way to check is to put the tank all by itself and subtract the tare weight; a 5# tank weighs roughly 7.6# completely empty and 12.6# when full. Did you leave the tank on all night? If you turned it off the beer most likely absorbed some of the CO2 but needs more to continue carbonating and to get the PSI up.

@@QuirkyHomebrewSupply thanks. I kept the CO2 on all night. (I haven’t heard of shutting it off, should I?). I know the volume will decrease with cold but the meter that show,s my beer’s psi also dropped. Wondering if this is also normal. Appreciate it!

@@joesimmons1069 You should keep it on, just wanted to check because we have had people do that before 👍 I would put the tank on a scale and see where it is at volume wise, it's possible you have a leak. Ideally your regulator will stay exactly where you set it to and the beer will increase in carbonation over time until the liquid reaches the same PSI.

We're getting back into filming after a long hiatus!

You should be able to as long as the tank has a standard male CGA-320 thread on it and not the female style

A little lower, try 8-10 PSI
