Force carbing and serving with manifold - distributed pressure loss?

[whm3223]

I have my system hooked up to a manifold with multiple kegs force carbing (set and forget) and several kegs connected for serving.

My brewing partner believes that our weekly parties serving beer slow the carbonation process. However, there is no noticeable drop in pressure. It seems impossible that carbonation would slow because of the regulator maintaining pressure.

Does my partner have any ground to stand on?

You could calculate the amount of time the beer is under full pressure (most of the time) vs. the time it is not (any time the tap is open). Even if you assume a total loss of pressure on the carbonating keg (which there isn't). and you assume it takes a week to carbonate one keg while a second is being served...assume an average of 8 sec to serve a beer, times 40 pints per keg gives you 320 sec of serving time on a keg, or 5.3 minutes. So, 5.3 min out of 10,080 minutes in the week, or .05% of the time. So, practically speaking...no.
