Dual regulator needed?

[dmbnpj]

Just got into kegging and currently have a 5# tank with one ball lock keg with one regulator and a picnic tap. I would like to add another keg to the fridge. Do I need a dual regulator or is there another option?

If you will be carbing and serving BOTH kegs at the same pressure you can get a manifold to split the gas to two kegs.

If you are going to want a different pressure to each keg..get a dual regulator.

What would the split manifold look like?

Ok I just got one to add second keg. How long should the hose be that connects between regulator and manifold.

They can be as long as you want

If your just adding one, you can also use a splitter, lil cheaper http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006C4WPOW/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

That's an option.. but leaves you no way to shut off the gas to one keg

I have this one. Very convenient for multiple kegs.
