Man loses arm in beer keg explosion

[Edak]

This all gets me thinking about the safety of my methods, I some times force carb a sanke keg at 400 kpi when I'm in a hurry to get fizzy beer. Maybe i should turn the reg down a bit and enjoy a couple of alcohol free days...

Holy moly that is high! Do you not have a prv on the reg or the keg? Mine on the Rev would kick in somewhere in the 300s. I force Carb at 280.

a lion Nathan keg is only rated to 450 kpa the regs in the pub I work in only go to 300 kpa for this reason I assume. Any one know the what a corny is rated to? Also we received this today

If you read between the lines they appear to be getting at the wrong use of a regulator or one not being used at all .

400 PSI or KPa?

Makes a big difference.
