Does anyone have a method for taking a 1/2 bbl sanke of carbonated beer and splitting it between three 1/6 bbl kegs? Just wondering. If you know a good YouTube link, that would be awesome.
Filling 1/6 bbl Sanke Kegs

Google counter pressure transfer, its not difficult and you need a way to balance the pressure (pressure rels on the reg) in the empty kegs to keep it from foaming like mad, and push the beer from the 1/2 slowly 3-5psi at a low pressure (colder the beer less foam) and once the pressure climbs on the receiving tank you need to purge that off. Hope that makes sense. Then hit with re-carb pressure.
Remove the sanke check valve in the receiving keg coupler. Connect the beer out lines together (I simply shove a piece of tubing on two picnic taps to couple the lines)
Pressurize the full keg with Co2 while the receiving empty keg has the coupler handle up so not to receive CO2. Beer will flow from the pressurized keg to the unpressurized keg, you will need to vent the keg you are filling as it fills up, and likely have to add co2 to the keg you are draining.
Its not that difficult, but takes a few minutes longer than you would think..
