Keg pressure for Different types of beer

[ChrisM25]

Hi everyone.

 

I'm just setting up my first kegging system. I'mm wondering if say a keg of Pale Ale and a keg of Pilsner would use the same CO2 pressure?

 

I have a dual pressue gauge but am interested to know recomended pressures for different beers.

 

Thanks

Chris

This chart should answer some of your questions.

 

Here are a couple more links you could also find useful:

Rather than me explain it is probably easier for you to check these links.

 

The amount of CO2 you use really is a personal touch. However, there is a difference in pressures between different styles. i.e. a Stout has low pressure whilst an Aussie Lager is much higher. The chart provided will give you an indication of the differences.
