Default New to kegging and need help please

Ok... I have everything I need to fill and carbonate a sanke style keg including all hoses, co2, and everything but I want to keg in a corny instead. So what do I need in order to do this? Can I just switch the hoses from the sanke tap to the corny disconnects?



Also, is it okay to carbonate, say, 5 gallons in a normal 15.5 gallon sanke keg?


thanks for any help it is appreciated


edit: sorry for the wrong forum

Here is the easy answer. This solution lets you switch between both types of kegs too.

Could I just buy these: http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=36 and a corny keg and just switch the hoses? If I have the corny setup I wont need to switch to sanke anymore I will just make a couple more keggles

you'd waste a lot of CO2 by carbing 5 gallons in a 15.5gallon vessel. that's 10.5 gallons worth of dead space that you'll have to fill with CO2 to the same psi.
