Hi guys!
I apologize if this is a stupid question but I am far from an expert on this topic.
I exchange my CO2 tank at my local welding shop and lately have had a string of tanks that have not lasted long at all. My system currently consists of a 5 pound tank of CO2 with a primary regulator that I feed into a 4 gauge secondary regulator so I can carbonate at different pressures.
So here is my question:
If I leave my primary regulator up relatively high (maybe between 20 to 30 psi) to keep all four of my beers to style, how long should my tank last?
In order to better paint the picture, here is what I plan to have on tap shortly:
Pale Ale - 2.5 volumes of CO2
Amber Ale - 2.5 volumes of CO2
Belgian Witbier - 3 volumes of CO2
Dunkelweizen - 3 volumes of CO2
I currently keep my keezer around 40 degrees F.
Let me know if you need any additional information.
Thank you in advance for the help. All your feedback is appreciated.
Cheers!
Casey
