Hi and Welcome to HomeBrewChatter.com! This forum was started by a group of dedicated homebrewers that desired a place to discuss the process of homebrewing, beer in general, and, well, life in general. As a guest you will not be able to view a couple of community forums such as "The Red Zone" or "Still Here?" So, register for free and gain the ability to post new threads, reply to topics and view the hidden forums.

We don't censor here. We allow adults to talk about whatever they want. If you want to ignore a user, it's as easy as adding them to your ignore list. BUT, we do move posts to the correct forums and we have The Red Zone (a registered members only forum) just for the purpose of housing highly debated and touchy subjects. So sign up and join the fun! If you have any problems registering or logging in email me at contact@homebrewchatter.com

Default GOT MY KEGS!!
Just got them and unpacked them.. Midwest is on my good side again. But it was 3 kegs, all was pressurized when I got them (think they do that to make sure they dont leak). All new seals and such. Also got a beer gun, which will be fun to figure out how that thing works. Also 2 Scottish ale kits. Ones a Scottish ale light (11lbs of grain, brown sugar, dex, and oak chips) The other is an 80/-. And good thing is, all my beer is ready to keg so all 3 kegs will be full. Only going to carb two, but will purge the other one with co2 to store.

Yes sir I did.. I just skimmed the info cuz i had to get back to work. will mess with it when I need to bottle some brews or something.

What is the normal psi reading for a full 5lb tank? I know if its in the fridge it will read lower then what it really is.

Mine always reads somewhere in the "Time to reorder" red zone since mine is in the fridge. I think you might be able to adjust it with a screw in the back .

In my experience there are only 2 readings on the gauge: empty and not empty. Seems like it will pretty much read as full until it is out or close to it.

Shrek, Do you have a chest freezer or upright fridge? If you have a chest freezer, I've drilled a hole the same size as my gas supply line in the collar and leave the tank outside.

Upright fridge. Right now I just have my tank inside with my 3 kegs. Only have 2 kegs hooked up at a time, but when I get taps for the outside and stuff, I'll have the tank outside.

I guess you could always do the same thing with the door of the fridge if you wanted to.

Get one of these, and mount it on the inside with a single line running out to the tank
