If you tapped keg after bringing it home, you may have to wait hours before it acclimated to your kegerator. Based on your location, final beer temperature and type of beer will determine what pressure is required. Give us some more info and we can give you a recommendation.

FYI - an ale or lager @ 38 F @ sea level requires between 12-14 PSIG. The CO2 content of the beer specified by the brewer will determine where in that spread you should set the PSIG.
