It's always read way low when cold, but the last few days, ever since I force-carbed my porter, it's been reading as 800+, which is usually higher than when I get it newly filled!

Anyone know what gives?:confused::confused:

Is it in the fridge or outside? If it is inside the fridge is the fridge still going?
 
It's in my chest freezer, which sits at 42 degrees. Have it hooked up to my keg at 15 psi now.
 
Only 2 explainations I can think of, either:
Your fridge is not working and it is at 65°F, or
You have knocked the high pressure gauge and it is now not zero'd (check this by turning the tank off and disconnecting the reg - HP gauge should drop to zero)
