can you another gauge to co2 regulator?

[dockmasterjc]

I just bought a kit to start kegging and the regulator only has one gauge. Can I add another?

im pretty sure you need to buy another regulator...you can find nice dual gauge regulators online pretty cheap

It depends on what type of regulator you have. Most should have provisions for 2 guages.

The guage on the tank/high pressure side is useful but not as useful as some may think. CO2 will remain at a constant pressure until all the liquid CO2 is used up. It will then drop pressure fairly quickly. At our shop we are lucky to squeeze a full day out of our fountain machine on an air filled tank with no liquid CO2 left. We use a 20# tank.

+1 on what Trenchant said- If you want, post a picture and we can give you options. MicroMatic.com, Kegerator, Draft Keg Beer Equipment, Taps has some good reference material I believe (as well as barbed nipples to join two regulators, etc).
