CO2 Tank inside or out

Thu Mar 19, 2009 6:32 am

I have my tank inside the kegerator, but I am not sure if that is messing with my regulators because the beer seems a little on the flat side, at 2.75 volumes. My regulators are cornelius brand.

The humidity inside a kegerator sometimes will cause corrosion or otherwise screw up the internal workings of a regulator that is not well sealed. While many folks have no problem with their tank inside, it is best to have the tank outside whenever feasible just to be safe.

Does having the CO2 tank inside the kegerator make a difference to carbonation? Does the pressure need to be tweaked up or down due to the temp? More or less volume?

I already answered my own questions. There is another post that covered it.
