So I just added two more taps to my Keggerator, bringing it up to 4 total. Which is really nice to have 4 beers on tap. But it also means that my set a beer in the fridge at serving preassure (about 8 PSI) at 40 degrees for two weeks no longer works since I don't have room for a pressurizing beer without loosing a tap. Not the end of the world, but I'd prefer to leave the fridge just for drinking beer.
But, I just got a second CO2 tank and regulator. If I'm reading this chart correctly at http://sdcollins.home.mindspring.com/ForceCarbonation.html if I set my second tank and regulator to about 26 PSI, at room temperature (say 68 degrees) that should carbonate my beer to about the same level in one-two weeks but could be hooked up to the gas for longer. Then when a keg dies, all I should have to do it put a new keg in, bleed off the excess pressure, hook it up to the 8 PSI serving pressure give it a day or two to chill down to serving temp and equalize pressure and only be down a day or two that the keg needs to chill.
Am I right, or am I misunderstanding something about disovled gas in a liquid. I should've payed better attention in chemistry in H.S.
