What gas regulator should I get for my corny keg set up?

Post by Wozboy » Mon Apr 27, 2020 1:04 am

Ok, I bought this set up second hand and the regulator has been bashed about a bit and the plastic regulator spindle has perished. The regulator I have has no pressure relief valve so I want one with this function and I just want one that does the job well. I don’t think mine is working properly as I have to keep tapping the dial for it to give me the correct reading, I think it’s knackered and I want to replace it with a good regulator that is accurate and easy to use so I would be extremely grateful for any advice and guidance.

I look forward to hopefully loads of responses!!!

Cheers🍻

These are as good as they get.

The keg land ones are decent and a little cheaper but if possible buy the above.

Yes the ODL regulator is very nice.

Just avoid the cheap Chinese ones on eBay and the like that you can get for £20-25. Have seen multiple of those fail now, but none of the ODL ones.

When I say ‘fail’ I mean that they fail to regulate and end up massively overcarbonating kegs and blowing your entire CO2 tank out of keg or their own pressure release valve.

I saw these Italian regulators and I should have known that I'd need one as they seemed to be the most expensive but you do get what you pay for and I'm very grateful for the advice, I may as well bite the bullet! I'm going to get a protector as well any advice on them? I guess there all much of a muchness but if you've any preferences please let me know.

Many thanks,

Cheers 🍻
