What CO2 pressure on draft beer?

Explains what pressure one should set their CO2 regulator at on a draft beer system.

Thank you John for getting back to me. Keep up the good videos🍺

[@jaymckay4086]

thanks for cutting threw the bs and getting to the point. good video. im keggin a 1800's style pilsner today and knew to keg it high but didnt know the exact. im going 11.5 psi for 3 days serve at 7 ish.

[@beveragefactory3152]

We love that you used a Beverage Factory regulator for this video ;)

[@skywave12]

There are Pressure Regulators that have good following accuracy. However they are expensive.

[@richleviness4621]

good info thank you

Hi - very helpful videos! I was wondering what pressure is ideal (approx.) for soda. I'm making fresh sodas in my korney keg and I'm unsure at what psi I should be pouring at.

[@kevinjacquin5232]

Still new to home keg but I have found that when I set my Co2 to 10-12 psi all I get is foam. Everyone says that is perfect psi but when I dial it back to 6/7 psi, I get perfect pours everytime with 1/4-1/2 inch head. This is on a Kegco system with Busch beer on a 1/2 barrel.

Your line length is too short

[@TAVERNSERVICE]

No we do not most are between the 6-8 but can be anywhere from 6-14 lbs depending on the style, taste preference as well as the length of beer line. Factor in a 1-1.5 lb drop off per foot of line.

What PSI? for Octoberfest , the size of the Keg is not the smaller one but the medium size

[@RichBshine1972]

Hi john I've read mixed reviews when tapping a keg should the coupler be installed and than release pressure from the keg than tapped and should the c02 be on when tapping the keg thanks

[@bryanramey2438]

Newbie here. I connected my CO2 to Keg in room temperature and then put both the keg and Co2 tank in the refrigerator and set to 30psi. When I woke up the following morning I noticed that my gauge was reading 21 PSI instead of 30. Is this do to temperature drop? Should I readjust this to 30psi or leave it alone until I hit the 24 hour mark for force carbonation. Im using a 24 hour non shake force carbonation technique. After 24 hours I drop it to 10 PSI for serving pressure.

What if I get flat beer, no head? This is from a keg I bought already filled from a breweryV

[@Mrworkout213]

Hi John thank you for the video hopefully it will be helpful to me. Question my girlfriend got me a kegorator a few years ago. I put the kegorator in storage. We just purchased a new house I want to set up my kegorator again. I have a CO2 tank that was stored away for at least four years is the CO2 tank still good to use?

[@tavernservicecompanyinfo748]

HI Pedro, I would actually make sure the tank is empty and get it filled, just in case. The hydro test on these tanks are good for about 5 years, so I would make sure it is still in date in case the place that fills your tank asks about it. Thank you for your comment and for watching the video :)

I have a dual regulator, one is running Michelob Ultra and the other is a Hoppy Wheat. I get a ton of foam from both. They are both set below 10 psi. I cannot figure it out.

[@jaypence332]

Temp?

[@johng4503]

Does serving temperature have an affect on how much psi you apply to your beer? I have a London Pride clone in the keg at 50°F @ 13 psi to achieve a 2.14 volume of CO2.

[@RichBshine1972]

Do u recommend 6 to 8 pounds on all ales thanks

[@Awoit]

If my kegged beer is carbonated to 5 PSI, but then my serving pressure is 10 PSI, won't the beer carbonation level increase over the course of a few days? How can I keep my beer carbonation steady (2-5 PSI) while serving at a higher PSI to maintain a good level of head/foam?

[@peterwerle7966]

You can't. If your regulator pressure is higher than the keg pressure it will force carbonate the beer until they're equalized, its basic physics. To prevent issues with your serving pressure you just use longer keg lines. Just follow a carbonation chart, set your pressure relative to your beer style and kegerator temperature, and if you can't pour cleanly get longer lines and work on your technique. www.kegoutlet.com/media/uploads_ckeditor/Carbonatin-Chart.jpg

[@kevinjacquin5232]

With Kegerators everyone keeps saying to be at 11/12 psi but with my system being a 1/2 barrel of Busch I get mostly foam. When I dial it back to 7/8 psi I get absolute perfect pours with 1/4" or less foam. Anyone else have this problem?

[@jibboom2112]

Yep at 10+ it comes out like a rocket

[@sierramandtx]

idk bout flavor but Boddingtons uses nitro and needs way more psi than that.

[@EricFarmer01]

Does high altitude effect the setting or should I use longer beer lines?

[@kodymonroe2613]

It does approximately half a psi for every 1000f above sea level

[@asesinojc]

Hi, Im new on this, I'm kegging Corona beer what pressure my Co2 has to run ???

[@margiemiranda9303]

my pressure seems, 2 be 2 low...and after a couple of glasses it, stops pouring. Tried adjusting the knob. But doesn't move.

[@TheNorthridgebrewer]

Most likely you have an empty CO2. Other rarer possiblities would be a broken regulator and very rarely water or beer has backed up into your CO2 and it feels full even though it isn't.

great content but the dude looks like he adores little boys just too much
