Okay so we are about to move and my first big project is a keezer for my soon to be garage bar room. Keezers seem very simple to build and I have that all square. Never kegged before, been brewing and doing bottles only for about 18 years and just hate to bottle and love the rest so this seems perfect.
Question though, I am doing a 8 keg keezer and plan to use two 4 keg manifolds, I get all about how that works but was surprised to see that you only control pressure from the main CO2 tank and each branch off the manifold is of equal pressure, for serving this makes sense.
But my understanding of force carbonation is to pressurize the keg at 40psi and leave it for 24 hours, then drop to 20psi for 24 hours then drop to 10psi for serving.
So that is all fine and well but if you are adding a keg to your keezer and already have some kegs going how do you deal with that? Do you keep a seperate hose, tank and gauge just for force carbonation? I mean the other kegs are carbonated and need to stay at 10psi right?
