Can I set my kegs at different pressures using a Taprite dual secondary regulator?

I recently built a 4 tap keezer and am starting with 2 kegs and picnic taps (shank holes plugged up for now) and fed the CO2 in with a primary regulator feeding a Taprite dual secondary regulator. I did it this way because I thought I'd be able to carbonate one keg while serving the other and if desired to serve each of my kegs at beer style specific pressures.

Is this possible with my current set up or do I need a splitter of some sort?

Thanks!
 
So you have a single gauge regulator on the tank, like this:

And you also have a Taprite dual secondary regulator like this?

If so, you should be able to hook it up to the primary and it should have dual gass out lines, each regulated separately. You just need to have the first one be the higher pressure keg.

Yes I have both of those. I have the primary feeding into the dual secondary and each secondary has its down gas out line. Can you provide with a step by step of how to set the kegs at different pressures?

Thanks!
 
Figure out what pressures you want your kegs at using a CO2 volume calculator. Run the gas line from the first regulator body (the one closest to the bottle) to the keg with the higher pressure, run the gas line from the second regulator body to the other keg. Close both gas outlets from the regulator bodies, open the gas valve on the bottle and open the valve on the primary regulator. Then, adjust the knobs on the secondary regulators until you get your desired pressures. Once you open the gas line valves you might have to do some fine tuning, but that should be about it.
 
Thank you so much man. It worked! It'll take some fine tuning and getting used to. the lower PSI keg is still a big higher than I'd like, but the keg is half empty already so I don't want to keep wasting CO2 by having to degas is every time I want to change the pressure.
