With the help of some fine folks here I got my seltzer tap going.
Good thing I did some reading because I was planning on running my seltzer through my chrome plated Perlicks. I didn't realize that the chrome had been wearing off over the years and I would had been leaching brass in my seltzer.
So I bought some new Perlick 650 SS taps and now have all SS through the keg, shank and tap. I carbed at 30 psi and after 3 days had excellent seltzer at the fizz level we like.
My question is do I need to leave the tank pressure set at 30 psi in order to maintain that carb level? or can I back it down to the usual 10 psi serving pressure without affecting the carbonation?
The 650SS tap is adjustable, but when I set it to a reasonable pour level there is still so much pressure behind the tap that it "pops" when you start pouring.
Thanks
