Can you use any regulator for CO2?

An Oxygen regulator can be used for a CO2 tank, but the fitting must be changed.

Are CO2 and O2 regulators the same?

Regulators for flammable gases are built differently (and cost more) than ‘neutral’ gas regulators. Using anything other than the proper regulator on an O2 tank will create a fire/explosion hazard. A tiny leak in your CO2 regulator means you’ll waste some gas. With oxygen, you’ll blow up your house.

What PSI should CO2 be for a Kegerator?

What pressure should my CO2 tank be set to? This will depend on the beer you are serving but most American breweries recommend a pressure between 10-14 PSI.

Why is my beer coming out foamy?

One should understand the physics behind foamy beer! Most beer is carbonated, meaning that it is a liquid solution saturated with a large amount of CO2 gas. When the temperature rises above 40 degrees, the CO2 gas starts to escape from the beer, and this is what causes foam (in most cases).

How do you regulate pressure in a keg coupler?
