I just bought all my brew equipment including 20 pound co2 bottle, various kegs and taps. I'm about to keg my first batch and read that I should leave the co2 on at 25-30psi for 2-3 days for proper carbonation.
I was at the local ubrew earlier this week, and they said NOT to ever leave the co2 on when not being dispensed. They said that if a hose or valve leaked, it could kill someone on the bottom floor? They said to only open the co2 when the dispensing becomes slow, otherwise to always leave it off.
So, what is the right answer. I know that CO2 is heavier than air and will sink to the ground. Though is 20 pounds enough to kill people on the bottom floor just walking around the area if it leaked?
Thanks
