Hey guys,

My dad is having a problem with his kegerator. The keg is coors light, Temp is at 37 has been checked with a cup of water and thermometer, cleaned the lines and everything. I don't know what else to check. He had the keg working when he first got it but I am no completely sure how long he has had the keg in there. Anything else you guys think I should check before I tell him it may just be a bad keg.

Thanks for any help.

37 is a little warm, what pressure is your co2? what lenght beer line? What kegerator? Is your tower cooled?
Little info will help us help you.

Calibrated your thermometer? What is your present PSIG? What is your location? Elevation? Have you removed the faucet and inspected areas for growth? Tested system for pressure leaks?

If your beer temperature is 37F, you reside between 1' to 1000' elevation and the keg label does not have a "Z" on it, apply 15 PSIG with five to six feet of 3/16".

If the keg does have a "Z", apply 13 PSIG with stated conditions above. Adjust one pound up for every 2000' elevation change above 1000' and up one pound for every two degrees warmer, down one for two degrees colder.
