Hi all

[Mrbeer95]

hello everyone I've recently bought a kegerator and kegged a coopers D.I.Y draught and was wondering what temperature and pressure I need to set my kegerator and c02 ? 

 

Cheers

You will have to do a glass of water test with the kegerator I used to have mine set at 2c but it was 5c in the glass of water after a couple of days now I have it set for -1c and it fluctuates between 0c and-1c now the beer is around 3c also with your psi it is all relevant to temperature and line length I have 1.7 metres of line and serve at 10psi

Temperature is a matter of choice (and beer style).  Try a temperature and see if you like it.  I set my kegerator at 3°C and that's how I like it.  I have not independently measured the temperature.  But I am happy with it, so I have stayed with it.

As @Back Brewing says, pressure is more about beer line length, and internal diameter.  For most beers, mine is set to 12psi.  I have about 2.5 metres of beer line with an ID of 4mm.
