Hello.
I've been kegging for a while now and I have a simple setup with one keg, and a single body regulator. Very soon, I plan on purchasing another keg and adding a second low pressure regulator to the body so I can serve at one pressure and carbonate with another; ultimately ending up with two beers on at once. Eventually, I would like to add more than two kegs to my setup and my plan is to use one low pressure regulator to carb when I have a new batch and the other to serve beer that is ready to go.
Rather than continuing to add to the body of the regulator, my plan is to simply add a manifold to the "serving regulator" line and branch my serving kegs off of that one (no more than 4 or 5 kegs when I'm all done), serving beers at the same pressure (which I am fine with), leaving the other in-line regulator reserved for carbing.
I don't see any issues with this, but can someone with more kegging experience validate this? Also, would it matter which low pressure regulator was at the higher pressure? I carb using the set and forget method @ ~10psi.
Additionally, I realize that I could add a manifold to my single body regulator, and "burst carb" a keg, eliminating the need for my plan, but I don't want to do that.
Thanks!
