Hey
After final rinse of our pressure tanks (small 600L) I usually pressurise to about 1psi with CO2. I've always done this as it might be some days or extended time
until we fill the tank with wort. (NB Not using the tank for transfer of finished beer etc).
This got me thinking that I might be able to use compressed air (from oil free compressor). I believe the objective of leaving them with slight pressure is just to
seal them and leave sanitary. Or will the use of compressed air from a compressor risk contamination too much to make the saving in CO2 worth it?
Thanks!
