Gas PSI help

[Jayhill]

Evening all , I have lager keg running with mixed gas but I’m unsure what PSI I should set the gas at??

Any advice would be appreciated

[LeeH]

What beer is it?

What temp is the keg stored at?

Carling keg just stored in garage so currently about 18/20 degrees

Why the mixed gas? 100 percent CO2 would be better.

20 degree Carling? Are you insane?

Any how you will need 60 psi for a fizzy warm lager but I would not recommend that. Assuming you have 60/40 gas.

You need to get you keg down to a more sensible temp and ditch the mixed gas unless you beer lines extremely long.

Have a read of this.

Sorry I’ll be clearer, my keg is stored at about 15 degrees I used mixed gas as its a home bar therefor low dispense volume ..The pubs use CO2 because they turn over a lot of beer smaller outlets use mixed because it help the beer last longer.

It runs the the cooler and comes out very cold and have the gas set at 23 psi and seems ok but didn’t know if to increase or decrease the pressure to improve the pint.

Thanks

It does not help the beer last longer, pubs use it to transfer long distances with higher pressures from the cellar without over carbonating the beer. Basically you are paying more for less.

Temp and pressure of the keg are the 2 variables to maintain your chosen volume of C02 in the beer. i.e fizz.
