• Being new to the hobby I am trying to start off right. What do you folks suggest as the best pressure gauge for a Jensen 20g? Thank you in advance!

• You can check with Bruce   ( @St Paul Steam ). He may have available one of his nicely made adapters that places a gauge right above the steam dome.
  
  Or
  
  You can call Jensen and order a gauge and adapter which works great but you give up the hole for the whistle.

• I will second Gil's recommendations, but if you want to DIY then small pressure gauges in the 30 PSI range are available from multiple sources, like ebay:

  However, the problem being that you will need to make an adaptor to fit the Jensen threads!
  
  I will add that you really don't NEED a pressure gauge, as your Safety Valve will actually be all the pressure indicator you really need, but I will also add that having a pressure gauge is sort of fun and does add another dimension to steaming up!!!

  This is the smallest 0-30 PSI gauge I have found.

• I made these fixtures up years ago so I could retain the whistle, SV and have a gauge.
