This was a question I posted in another thread and wanted to see if anyone knows the answer.
I kegged my first batch last week, First of all, my equipment. Regular SS corny keg, 10# CO2 Tank, 3ft long, 1/4" ID CO2 line, dual pressure gauge (2 pressure 0 - 60 PSI CO2 regulator set with 1/4 Flare (threaded) fittings and ball valve shutoffs: www.kegkits.com). Now this is what I did:
I chilled the keg to 42 degrees for two hours then hooked up the co2 tank to the keg and set pressure to 13 PSI (set and forget method), then threw everything in the fridge. Now, when I set to 13 PSI, my co2 tank was at room temperature, not 42 degrees like the keg.
My question is this - do I need to adjust my PSI now that the co2 tank is at a lower temperature?
Thanks for any input!!
