Howdy,
So gas down here in New Zealand is expensive, and my english mate and I are trying (with success I might add) to naturally carbonate beer in our sanke kegs.
The stout in the 25l works a treat, I hardly need to pump it at all. Like at all, the sugar I primed it with seems to keep on presureizing the keg.
We made a Real Ale in the 50litre, which isn't meant to be too carbed, if at all.
My question is - do you think we are asking for trouble (spoil) by keeping the kegs open for over 3 weeks, and using the handpump -like the one below (the beer still tastes fine 3 weeks later btw).

Do you think it is possible, along with the natural carb method I described, to use just one handpump for both kegs, and one tap for both kegs, using directional valves closing off each beer when the other is poured?
I haven't got a draft tower as yet, but the picture attached should clarify what I am trying to do. I haven't hooked the 2nd keg up just yet, I need some more hose.
Cheers for any suggestions.
