You want to follow the red readings.
What should i do to lowerIn my opinion, his 1800 psi is still too high even if it’s beer gas. Here is a picture of my 75/25 nitrogen/CO2 blend sitting at 66°. This tank is nearly new and reading 1400 psi (bottom gauge)... I don’t think it was ever much above 1500 when it was new.

Cool juat to make sure im not too high on the left if you think i need adjustment they will sit overnight atAnd yes the gauge in the left in your pic is the tank pressure. The other gauge is what your pushing to the keg.
Any advice helps im watching videos now so maybe my next step is figuring out gas line lenght and will this affect psiSorry, in the USA pure c02 bottles are rated at 1800 psi. I jumped to the wrong conclusion early on.
What should i do to lower?
There’s nothing you can really do to lower the reading on your tank pressure gauge.

You’ll be fine as long as you swap tanks and take care of it tomorrow. You can’t adjust that reading.

Gas line length will not fix your problem. Line length is only applicable on the liquid side to counter balance the pressure in your keg so your beer doesn’t foam when you pour it.

Was thinking that alright! ill make sure to purge it plenty with co2 and hopefully be on the right track, and once i have my keg in the fridge i will correct the psi according to the temp chart. The co2 cannister will be outside the fridge on ambient temperature. Do you think that will be a problem?Just make sure to purge the gas in the keg already, when you hook up the pure co2 mix. You will want to remove as much of the nitrogen in the headspace as possible. It should be negligible, but you want more co2 in the keg than nitrogen as the co2 will dissolve into the beer carbonating it. The nitrogen will not dissolve into the liquid.
I hook my finished beer up to the CO2 and blast it at 30psi while rolling it on it’s side for a full 5 minutes. Then I put it in my chest freezer for 3 hours and it’s got good carbonation and is ready to go every time. This is the burst carbonation method.I have filled the kegs and set the pressure at 18 psi (what i think irls 18 psi for now) do you think i should bring it down to 12psi?
I might try that without fear of an explosion! Do you disconnect the gas while u roll it?I hook my finished beer up to the CO2 and blast it at 30psi while rolling it on it’s side for a full 5 minutes.

Ive had an issue myself i got the wrong gas sunday and i have been busy working since. I finally got the gas today and my 2 kegs of beer have been in the cold garage since sunday so im hoping they will be ok.. possibly still slightly fermentingI think you should try to keep the gas connected and let us know how that goes. Take pics.
They were fermented 2 weeks on sunday so i transfered from primary to corny keg and they have been without gas pressure since sunday. Im hoping this will not be a major problemIve had an issue myself i got the wrong gas sunday and i have been busy working since.

The kegs have a pressure rating of 130psi so there really is no issue at all with 30. While I’m rolling it I keep it hooked up then disconnect it when I put it in the freezer. It’s not an exact science but it’s never failed me just be sure it’s at at least 30.I might try that without fear of an explosion! Do you disconnect the gas while u roll it?
That’s not a problem at all it’s the same thing as letting it sit in the fermenter. One thing I’ve learned is that a lot of the worry isn’t needed. The only bad brew I ever had was my very first time when temp control got way to high. With time you figure out what works for you and the stress goes away.They were fermented 2 weeks on sunday so i transfered from primary to corny keg and they have been without gas pressure since sunday.

Very nice im thinking 3 kegs but maybe i should fit 4 if i can going from your experience!
