Just got Keg and CO2 Cylinder

[MyCarHasAbs]

I'm pretty sure the CO2 tank is empty but can someone confirm with this image?

Tank is open all the way, regulator switch in closed position.

Also, whoever owned the keg previously must have had mountain man super strength. The in and out connections are extremely tight.

Yep, she's empty. Congrats on the new setup! Your life will never be the same.

Good to know. $35 fill up in the near future : )

Eventually going for a custom built Keezer but that's years off. Will brew again in a month. Looking forward to a new era haha.

Full your gauge will read 800 at room temp. Your psi will be set from 10 to 12 psi for most beers.

I hope your referring to the safety valve ring on the actual keg itself and not the one on the regulator ?

??? What shut off valve?

Yeah, they were trading brain cramps, as neither was talking about a "shut-off valve", but instead were referring to Pressure Relief Valves.
There's one on your regulator - the valve with the ringed actuator - and if you're using a fully standard ball lock keg there will be a similar PRV on the keg lid...

Cheers!

not sure why I said safety shut off valve, not sure what I was trying to say to be honest, must have had a couple.

Pressure release valve would probably be the proper term lol
