Order Gas

[cliffordsimmons]

Hello-


So I am very new to kegging. Literally this is my first time putting beer into it a week or so ago. I have a 3 gallon keg. Everything was going fine. By high pressure gauge was at 1000 but I noticed over a week it had gone down a few hundred points. Then I put my 3 gallon keg into the fridge (one of the things I Like about having the small keg). So today, a few days afterward I notice my C02 gauge is on order gas. Its in the red! wth?

any help would be very much appreciated!

I must note I am still able to maintain 10 psi.

If your co2 tank is in the fridge it will read a couple hundred pounds less than there actually is. It doesn't hurt performance, if you were to take it out and let it warm up the pressure gauge will come back up. Nothing to worry about its normal.

Forget the gauge, as far as how much gas is left. Weigh it. The bottle will have a stamp on it saying ow much the tank weighs, empty. Subtract that from the current weight and you will know how much gas you have left.
