I just recently picked up the gear from my LHBS to start kegging. The guy who runs the place told me that I could carb 3 kegs at the same time off of one 5lb. CO2 tank. I took his advice and bought a 3 way splitter but in pressure testing my kegs it seems like I'm getting different pressures to different kegs. I'm basing this assumption on the fact that when I release the pressure on the kegs I don't get the same burst of gas from each one. I don't think my kegs are leaking, I don't hear gas escaping.
How long would I have to leave the CO2 running at 10psi (just an example) to ensure that all three kegs are completely pressurized? In my testing to this point I've only left it connected for a couple minutes at most.
Assuming that, that's my problem and that I just need to leave it sit longer how long would it take to carb 3 full kegs of beer? The guy at the LHBS said 2-3 days. This may be something that there's no hard and fast rule for but any suggestions would be beneficial.
