Hi All,
So far the process to setup a keg fridge has been pretty fun and relatively painless. I'm still gathering equipment and reading up on setups, etc.
I used to have a large saltwater reef aquarium that I used CO2 setup that I used to produce calcium carbonate for my corals. I still have the 20lb tank and the regulator, but as it had been sitting in a fairly caustic environment for several years, there is quite a bit of rust on the tank and regulator.
I'm not so worried about the tank - light surface rust and needs a recertification, but it's OK. I'd like to have a smaller tank to fit in the small fridge, but I may just reuse this one.
The regulator is another story. The dials are pretty rusty and I'm sure the output dial is probably a bit high for kegging. I bought this new a long time ago - it's a Uniweld 592H Regulator. There are some pictures of the regulator below.
Can the HBF powers that be give me some advice on what I should do with this regulator? I assume it's OK for kegging. Should I - Trash it and get a new one? Get new dials? Where do I get new dials?
Thanks!
