does the Co2 have to be cold?

[trainfever]

The freezer I will be using to build a keezer will fit 4 cornies perectly. I will just have to build a collar. I plan on keeping the CO2 on the outside and running a hose through the collar. Then I got to thnking, will the warm co2 effect the cold beer? Does the co2 have to be refrigerated also?

No it does not. A lot of people (myself included) use it outside the kegerator/keezer.

Mine is outside as well.

x3 outside as well. the only time it really makes a difference is when you go to refill the tank you'll want to freeze it over night that way more gas will fit in the tank

This wont apply to me because my local gas supplier only does trades.

And most places fill to the registered weight on the bottle.

being cold will only get more into the tank if you are using another tank to fill it, most places use a pump to fill it so it doesnt make a difference.

the place i go to actually fills it using another tank, and suggest to bring it in cold. didn't realize thats not how most places do it

Most places fill with cryogenic CO2 anyways. The majority of the CO2 in your tank is liquid and cold.

its only as cold as ambient air temp. 850psi keeps it in a liquid state.
