Like the Maxwell House reference, might have to borrow that one. I had it set to 12psi but it was my first keg in my new kegerator so could have been user error. I've got two kegs in now that are two weeks old (boulevard pale ale and O'Dell's Cutthroat Porter) and they are both very fresh. In fact I'm enjoying the porter right now....
I wish I was younger so that I would not have to worry about a keg lasting too long.
