Ever since I've got my kegerator, I've had a hard time tracking down the various CO2 pressures for each type of beer.

Often times when I'm discussing this with a distributor, I suspect I'm not getting CO2 content of the beer, but a recommended pressure to run the keg at (so it's a number taking into account elevation and/or a poor attempt to balance via pressure).

So the idea I have is when I get a new keg, to shut off the tank and read the keg pressure from my secondary regulator.

I've done this once before, @ssumed it was the keg pressure and moved on.

Can anyone with more experience than I weigh in on this subject?

If I can use this method to determine an approximation of CO2 content it may make balancing much easier.

Thanks!
