this should be a good start,
so Question, do i keep the c02 bottle outside the fridge?
or do i drill a few holes

You can do either - if you have room in the fridge, I'd keep it there. One less hole you have to drill

it would be one less hole! but you do lose some of the capacity of the tank when kept cold. probably not enough to bother you but just keep an eye on your tank pressure so you don't get stuck having to refill earlier than planned!

I've got the same kit with a 10# tank, got it in the fridge. the cold throws the high pressure gauge reading off, but everything seems to work ok.

easiest to just keep it in the fridge.

Only time i plan on moving mine outside the keezer, is when i have 6 full kegs and a colar built.

the high pressure guage only really tells you that you have liquid in the tank anyways, so it isn much info, until it starts falling (almost empty)

BTW, Nice buy, that was my 2nd choice when i bought mine.

Sorry, I don't follow, the amount of Co2 in the tank is the same regardless of temperature, right? The gauge wll read differently at a lower temperature, but the amount of Co2 in the tank is the same, either inside or outside the fridge.

yes. that's right. the amount of gas doesn't change, it's just that the cold temps cause it to "contract", if you will, which makes the pressure drop, and thus, the gauge read lower.

Got the same kit with a 20# tank just a week or 2 ago, pretty decent deal.

Mine came with a damaged low pressure gauge though so I've e-mailed them to get it resolved. Didn't help to find out my cheapo fridge was out of coolant so I need to find another as well.

I'm gonna keep my tank in the fridge/freezer when I get one just because it's easier.

Great Company.

Congrats on Kegging!

my understanding was that keeping the CO2 tank in the fridge would not allow the CO2 to expand as much, thus not allowing you to use the tank to it's true "full" capacity... lol, i have no science to back this up, just my own experience and the guys @ KC!
