Having gas is one thing, far worse is the frequent next stage of the disease which is suffering from foam. If this dreaded symptom does arise then I'd strongly recommend checking that your regulator is really doing it's job at low pressures. I went through all the line balancing calcs & set up but couldn't solve the problem. I finally found that my non-pro regulator sold to me by BrewUk was really only a cheap & nasty gas welding CO2 regulator which I could have bought for half the price on eBay. The solution I came to was JG flow regulators & a pressure sub-regulator to reliably set pressure around 8psi for cask style ales.
Hopefully you won't have such problems but forewarned is forearmed as they say.
 
Nice tip @Bill_g thank you. Looks like it’s the Kegland Mk4 that comes with the starter kit that BrewKegTap sell.
I usually have both wheat beers and ales on the go at any one time so will probably be adding secondary regulators in down the line a bit.
