    Default Kegerator C02 question

    Current set up is a Danby with the resistor mod, 7' beer line & PC fan blowing across the cooler plate in back. Kegerator is located in the garage. Like everywhere else it's been a brutal summer here in Georgia. Happy to report that the Danby has done on excellent job of keeping the beer cold. I was working in the garage a couple of weekends ago and the air temp in the garage was 92 degrees. Yikes! Here's the question - my CO2 tank is mounted on the back of the Danby in it's standard location. Does outside air temperature affect the pressure of the CO2 canister? Does higher temperature or barometric pressure increase the pressure of the CO2 being dispensed into the keg? Does the opposite happen when the air temperature drops, like in the Winter time? Hope that makes sense. Thoughts?

    The pressure in the tank will rise & fall with temperature change, this is normal. If your regulator is in good working order the tank doesn't care where it lives. The pressure to the beer should not change.
