I finally have my beer pipeline filled and now i want to add another tap to my keg setup. I need to add another slot to my gas distributor and tap. I also want to keep the cost down. Any advice???
 
Not sure if your kegging set-up is like mine, but it's pretty easy to do.

I have a kegerator built from an old stand-up fridge. I originally had one tap on the front and recently added another on the side.

All you need to do is drill a hole where you want the new tap, get another converstion kit (http://www.midwestsupplies.com/refrigerator-conversion-kit-large.html) and a gas splitter (http://www.midwestsupplies.com/2-way-co2-distributor-1-4.html).

The one mistake I made was not measuring the length of the fridge wall so the first faucet shank was too short. I ended up getting this large one and it works just fine.

This worked great for me and I was able to do it for about $80.
 
The cheapest possible way would be to get a splitter for the CO2 line and use party taps. You could do this for beers that need to age or ones that you will not drink as frequently like a RIS.
