I finally got all my pieces and parts. Had to do this bit by bit over a couple of months.
Got my husband to spring for new lights.
Scored a used CO2 tank and regulator on ebay for real cheap. Guess nobody knew what it really was. Appears to be nearly new. Got bummed out when I couldn't find a place within a 2 hour drive to fill a tank. Couple weeks went by and I had begun to give up the search when a friend in the hospitality business appeared with big, full CO2 tank. Unhooked the yeast and put my regulator on the tank. It's working!!!
I only have a 29 gallon tank, this should last me a long time.
What I'm not sure of is what is the gauge reading? Pressure in the tank or pressure heading out?
The tank sat outside in my car from dawn until 1/2 an hour ago. It's barely 25 degree out now. Cold! Gauge is reading about 50 and just barely into the red area. Will things change as the bottle warms up to room temp? I was told it's full. Feels full, I had to put a little umphf into it carrying the thing into the house. Not sure what I'm reading here.
This is the set I got. Now with a much bigger tank.
