I have noticed that some people put their CO2 in their kegerator while some people have them outside of it. My kegerator is set up to do both so is there a plus or minus to either situation. Thanks.
One thing to note is, at least with my regs, temp changes change the setpoint. So if you have your regulator set at 14 PSI, THEN put it into your fridge, go check it a couple hours later to make sure it's still set at 14 PSI....in my case I have to adjust it once it's reached fridge temp.
I don't know why this is, but since I moved my C02 tank outside the keggerator (to make more room for beer)...it has lasted much longer. I think you are able to run it down more gradually for a long time at the end of the tank. When it was cold, it seemed like the reg was either in the green, or it dropped to zero fast.
Cool...thanks for the great explanation! I probably was filling my tank way too early when it was cold and in the "danger" zone. The paranoia is warranted...you don't want the weekend to come (the gas store is closed), and your buddies stop by for a homebrew and you can't serve 'em beer....haha.
$15 for a 15lb tank? Damn, that's cheap. I pay $18 for a 5lb tank and haven't found anyone nearby that's any cheaper...
