Co2 fridge pressure

[Keenbutcher]

I am in my first kegorator keg brew and have pressurised the keg and put everything in the fridge. Off the top of my head the co2 at room temp new was 600psi ish. Now it's been in the fridge it's gone down to about 300psi. I thought it would drop a bit but this seems a massive amount. I have tried to see if I have a leak with a spray bottle of sanitizer but camt find any. Wondering if this amount of drop is too be expected once the co2 has been dropped down to a low temperature?

Mine did that too, freaked me right out. Now it's outside the fridge it is back to 500 where it was before.

So it was just down to the temp? Do you keep it outside now because of that?

 

[nixhaz]

Yeah it was the temp. I keep it outside now because I've stuffed the fridge with more cornies so there's no room for it any more!

Sweet thanks for the info!

It's still fine to keep it in the fridge. Mine's outside the fridge and is colder than inside the fridge for loads of the year.
