so i've been kegging for a while now, and always just adjust the pressure from the regulator to match whatever gives the best pour.
now i have quite a few kegs (empty, but hopefully not for long), bought a chest freezer a while ago i thought i'd convert into a kegerator, but recently bought a top/bottom fridge that can support six soda kegs. so i'm going to convert the chest freezer into my fermenter, and going to use this fridge as my kegerator.
now to premise my question. i never really took careful note of the pressures for each beer. i know that each beer generally requires a different pressure from another beer. for me, this comes down to cost. i can get a 6 output gas manifold for about 50-60 dollars, and this would be the easiest and cheapest setup. i've been thinking about a different, slightly more complex, more expensive setup. i was thinking about getting two inline secondary regulators mounted in the fridge, each with a four output gas manifold attached, so if anything, i could at least have two different pressures for serving (i may carbonate in this fridge, maybe not, since i have multiple co2 tanks and two regulators).
so how worried should i be about the different pressures for the beer? would having one pressure for all the beers be adequate and work for me? or should i wait till i have hte money and invest in the more expensive setup where i can put two different pressures? and if i were to do this, are two pressures enough variance?
thanks!
edit - is there any way to change my symbol? i had accidentally tic'd the thumbs down for some reason...
