Co2 regulator question

[theCougfan97]

How does it work if I have multiple kegs on tap. I am assuming each beer would require a different level of pressure, would I need to have a CO2 tank for each or do they make a special regulator?
I ask because I have a C02 tank with regulator but was thinking about picking up a CL kegerator which comes with a Co2 tank and regulator, which means I could return the regulator I just bought if I only need the one. Or is there any other advantage to having 2 sets of each.

You can use one CO2 tank and one "master" regulator and run one gas line into your kegerator then split the gas to multiple kegs using something like this, however, this would mean that all the kegs would have the same pressure.

OR

You could use one CO2 tank and one "master" regulator and run secondary regulators like these for different pressures on different kegs.

There are a bunch of ways to go, its up to you and how much money you want to spend. Me personally, I just use one tank, one regulator, and a CO2 splitter similar to what I linked to above and run all my beer at about 12lbs pressure

This is what I have:




It allows me to have each keg at a separate pressure but in reality you only really need 2 secondaries if that. That would allow you to have 3 pressures to use and since I'm generally either carbing or serving, 2 would work. I will run ciders and other higher carbonated items at a higher pressure but I guess I'm saying 4 is overkill.

Yep, all depends on what you want and how finicky you are about carbing to style. I run 6 kegs off one regulator and live with a single carbonation level. For the occasional beer I want with a special carb level I'll bottle. Works for me.

^^agree, but one more co2 tank and regulator could still come in handy at times.

Love the setup. It's what I'm leaning towards with my Bev-Air rehab project. Curious to learn how you daisy-chained them together, and how you mounted the rig in your kegerator/keezer (circle best response).
