Default Out of co2
Hi, all new here..
I am sorry if I am beating a dead horse, but I have done seaches with no answer.
I poured my last beer of the night and all was fine last night. I went today to start my nightly procedings and no beer came out. I looked inside to see there is no pressure on my regulator, so I tuned off the air line and pulled the tap off the keg. I wont be able to get gas on it for another 24 hours. So I am guessing there will be no pressureized gas on my keg for 40 hours. The temp of corse will not change. So am I ok??


All turned out ok with the beer .Thanks.

Should be OK. You did the right thing by untapping the keg. Keep it cold and get CO2 hooked up as soon as you can.

The beer will likely be flat. The keg is at atmospheric pressure if you open the faucet and nothing comes out. Most kegs need to be at 10-14 PSIG to keep if you didn't know. Also there is now air in your keg.

You need to keep an eye on the tank gauge, when it hits zero keep a very close eye on the line gauge. As soon as it starts going down untap the keg.
