Hey guys just wonderin how long my 5lber should last? Tags: None. Comment Post Cancel. It should last kegs, thats what I have, and mine always lasts. To the guy that said his hasn't budged I keep mine in the fridge, and it read at around , even if its full, and stays there until its pretty much spent.
I've heard that it does the same if its kept out of the keg as well, it'll read higher then if its cold, but it'll still stay in one spot until its pretty much empty. Last edited by shawnman81 ; , AM. Originally posted by shinny keg View Post.

Once the liquid is gone, the pressure will quickly drop and you will be out. The time for this to happen is very quick, and it will always happen when you most want a beer.
Question, I am new to kegging and I have a 5lb. I have easy access to C02 refills so if my tank runs out and I get it refilled the next day the beer doesn't go bad does it?
The keg should hold whatever pressure it has remaining correct? Thanks all. I do have a backup ready but maybe I can get by with 2 more sixtels. PortLargo Devotee Oct 19, Florida. IceAce likes this. Some places fill with a pump and others just equalize off of a larger tank.

I get pints before having to hit it with a little more. This seems to help with conservation a bit. Purging should be next to nothing I carb with chilling my keg down, doing the 30psi for 24hrs trick and then pressurizing to serving psi.
My force carb doesn't seem to take longer than 24hrs. If it's not re-pressurizing for serving or on the gas for that 24hrs, my tank is off and not hooked up. I'm keeping a spreadsheet with my notes of what I've done for each keg on this tank. I'm on keg 2 with this tank. So, we'll see what I get off it. I'll report back when it's done. The extra benefit is if the keezer system kicks I can borrow the carbing system tank until I get the former refilled Is this just serving beer?
Including purging, carbing to psi, and serving, I'm lucky to get kegs with my 5lb tank. Thanks all for the tips and tricks! You must log in or register to reply here. Similar threads.
