Step 4Turn Up The Pressure...
Make sure the inline shut-off valve is off (perpendicular to the hose), and turn on the tank shut-off valve to full...
After you turn the gas flow on from the tank, adjust the screw until the outgoing pressure gauge (the one above the screw in the picture) reads between 45-50 psi...
Turn off any music, make her go out of the room, turn on the inline shut-off valve (parallel to the hose), and listen carefully for any small hissing leaks...
If you're feeling anal-retentive, submerge the inline shut-off valve and bitter end in a bucket of water and check for bubbling leaks.

This is a good instructable but I just wanted to add that your really don't need any more co2 pressure than 40psi I run mine at 25 and it has plenty of fizz. Make sure that your water or whatever you carbonating is really cold when you start. Any more than 40psi and your just wasting precious co2 gas. Try it at 25 and see what you think. If you want more fizz then go up from there. But again I love this article and all the detail you have put into it. Thanks for sharing it.
